In Flight Two

Not easy to adjust for me and she.The distance between she and me 5 cm.
I used for the light a reflector color silver to have the maximum for the exposure.
The reflector is hanged with a tripod .
So for the first time I can see the details in the head of this bee.It is not uniform but very textured.
Me I have a black cap (!!!) for the sun of this hot afternoon.
In fact to block the wings in the shoot ,you must use 1/2000 S minimum and after for the clarity and the dof it is very difficult to control (f3,2 it is very little) with a 105mm (equivalent in 24*36)
I do not increase the ISO for the accuracy,in general for the nature shot rarely more than ISO 320,because often I must adjust the framing.This one is cropped 3 times.
