I thought bees were a pain to shoot, but these guys take the cake! They have a knack for moving right as I'm about to pull the trigger...

All Canon gear: Xti (manual mode F16, 1/200, ISO 100) + 62mm of extension tubes + 100mm macro + 500D diopter (2.75x). MR-14 EX ring flash set to a 4:1 ratio and -1/3 FEC. Minimal post processing.
