Just B’s

When there’s good warm weather – and the dandelion flower are out on in the fields – I love to go photographing little bees that frequent these flowers.

This year I took my Canon MPE-65mm and a new diffuser and background holding setup on the Canon MT-24ex Twin Flash, over two days to the river bank fields on the edge of the river Stour, where I know to be a good location from previous years.  I am pleased with this setup – and will endeavour to add some photos and description of it this week.

These are my personal favourites from the Saturday afternoon session.
