Minor Bees

kwickers

Hello, I think I have seen these called Minor Bees by others. Nikon d80, Tamron 60mm, built-in Flash. The tips I have been hearing here on DGRIN have helped me get these

1) On a Tiny Daisy (Size of dime. US)

Good series - they are hoverflies rather than bees.

Lots of noise in these. Are you using high ISO or adjusting the exposure drastically in post production?

I think most of the noise was added during my post production attempts to "help" the image. :-)

Thanks Brian. They do hover slow enough for me to capture them!
