Description
Cool, partly cloudy, weather created the perfect conditions for slowing down this Mining Bee so I could get close to it. It would wake up, move around the dandelion, and when it paused I'd look for a shot.

Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 2.5x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, E-TTL metering, -2/3 FEC. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order. ISO and shutter set to expose the sky in the background.
