Description
Coelioxys sp. Leaf Cutter Cuckoo Bee. The way that solitary bees sleep fascinates me.Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 2x) + a diffused MT-24EX. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique:I'm holding on to the Daisey that bee is sleeping in with my left index finger and thumb, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep everything steady.
