Tonight I was able to get my 65mm lens out and shoot a bee portrait.I found a dying bee by my door step and tried to save her only to find her dead shortly after. So I decided to take some shots before long.
This shot is my favorite "behind the scenes" shot, it's as if the bee is begging for me not to shoot her -photographically speaking.
The Setup
* Tripod
* Macro sliding rail
* Canon Rebel XTi
* Canon MP-E 65mm Macro lens

And the result:
