Description I went out today to practice my macro photography skills and got lucky...never seen a bumble bee's tongue [link] before. It was fun watching it feasting on pollen.

Morpheius [2008-08-04 06:52:38 +0000 UTC]

Awesome, as always One question, my dear What lens did you use for macro photos? Is it standard lens from that camera or special macro lens? I'm just curious if I could make such great photos with standard lens

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Violet-Kleinert In reply to Morpheius [2008-08-04 07:00:03 +0000 UTC]

Thank you
I use a macro lens - Sony 100mm f/2.8 macro in order to get this much detail.
