Buzzing bee

Hi PrestonS

Try using fill flash instead of full flash to get more ambient light. See slow synch, front and rear curtain here:
Slow Sync Flash

A good discussion is found in this book.

It is just a suggestion

I love the blue blobs of pollen (?) on his head! Great detail and color.

Thanks for the pointers. I'm just starting to use the flash. For this shot the bee was actually in my kitchen on a bouquet of flowers. The background had a stove in it so I did my best to use the flash to take away any background. Outside I'll have to put your suggestions to practice. Thanks.
