To make a long story short, i did not have my tripod handy so i had to kneel down over the flower and snap this shot just hoping i could get it before it got away. It was the smallest baby bee i have ever seen in my life. In real size it was as small as a small ant. At first i thought it was a baby fly. As to how close i got... i'd say about an inch.

Edit: I rembmer i was just praying to get a steady shot. I hardly had any time to check the camera settings so i thought "Its just a babey, i dont thing it will even sting me if i get right next to it". Surely it did not mind me being there but as soon as i fired off the shutter it took off.

When you say macro you really mean it! I love them honestly they are amazing. The colors really work for me. What were you using for macro, the little lens' or the extender tubes?

Thank you. Here is what i used: 300D + kit lens + Bower Titanium Super Wide .42x (macro/fisheye 2 in one 2pc adapter). All shots were hand-held as i had limited opportunity.

Excellent shots of the Bee and the bubble, but the other shows the hand held. Ernie

I'd love to get a set up like that for my dads 20D. How much would it run me?
