    Cool stuff Andy, I really like that 2nd one. With the modded rebel what kind of shutter speeds are you capable of getting?

    I like the stiched shot. Are they the same bee on the same plant, four
    positions?

    Very cool.

    and very interesting. I love the kind of subdued colors. Gives a new meaning to bees on flowers, we are not used to see them in such soft and tender colors

    great technique
    These are wonderful photos and a great techinque. The third photo which you added is great--like a checkerboard--black and white, black and white.

    I got that part. I was curious if the four shots were the same plant/same
    bee.
