Description
Xylocopa violacea common name Violet Carpenter Bee.Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/60, ISO 200) + a Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens with 37mm of extension + a diffused MT-24EX (+1/3 FEC) with head "A" set as the key and head "B" as the fill. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: I injected the flower with artificial nectar to give the critter a reason to let me get close.
