Went out to look for insects on a sunny but slightly windy day.  I couldn't use my Cygnustech Diffuser because I forgot my Canon 430EX III-RT Flash, so I had to wing it with available day light, shooting handheld with a strong breeze at macro magnification.  It was challenging but a lot of fun.

Hi, just curious, what distance were you from the subject?

Hi Cyrilbrd, 

If you're asking me how close I was to the 🐝 bees, I was close enough to take the photos handheld without disturbing them.  I don't exactly remember how close my lense was to the bee as I don't make it a habit to measurethe the distance between my lens and the subject.  I was concentrating more in not disturbing the bees while manually focusing on them.  So, all I can tell you is that I was close enough to take the pictures you see.  So, your guess is as good as mine.   😆
