Description
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (> 2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on Kaiser adjustable flash shoes). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

Technique: These Sweat Bees will go all the way to the bottom of the flower looking for nectar. It was windy, so it was easy for me to grab onto the flower without spooking it. Once I had the flower's stem in my left index finger and thumb I rested the lens on that same hand and waited until the critter came to the top. As the critter surfaced I slowly turned the flower so I could get a good angle, one that would make the most out of what little depth there is at almost 3x.
