Queen Bee Eyes
Submitted by Creech on Sun, 05/04/2008 - 18:13.

For this photo, I used my 105mm macro lens with the 18-55mm attached to it reversed. I played around with a few different setups, and this seemed to work the best without any special mounting rings (which I do not have). I will write a little more about the technique later.
This is an extreme close up of a queen bee's head. Unfortunately, the only light I could use was from a small lamp. And the bee is not alive, it is one that was shipped here and died a few days later. You can clearly see the compound eyes on the right and one of the three simple eyes in the top left. I also posted another view of the bee here.
