Still.....Flying !, a photo from Tehran, East

Photographer's Note

This is a try with my friend's macro lens who lended his Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM to me for a few days (Thanks dear Sharooz !).
I'm studying about lens for macrography,too,but I dizzy about canon 180mm or 100mm.
I know many difference between,but Your suggestions and ideas can help me and I will use your opinions surely.
***
The photo here,took in Raw,convert to tif,crop almost 50% black around the bee,used USM on the bee,resized for TE and convert to JPEG.

Thanks for your comments

Dear Mohammad!
Great Macroshot,very difficult photographing a moving subject.Therefore the sharpness is amazing and the colors fantastic.I`m not shure ,wether the white area Jean Yves mentioned is disturbing or not.That`s ,why I tried a workshop and cloned it out.But maybe the black background is too big and empty now.......
Anyway,it`s a great shot.
Regards,Leo

Hello Mohammad,
Wow, incredible shot! You perfectly caught this bee in full flight..that is quite a performance! All the details are so sharp! I am not informed on those lenses, but this definitely seems to do the job well!
Hope you are doing fine!
Regards, Léonie

Atousa (7131) 2008-05-16 20:15

Salam Mohammad,
Lovely details in this shot!..it seems the bee is about to land on a white island; that whiteness gives a sense of depth although the completely black BG is also beautiful..great capture..tfs

All the best, Atousa

Hi Mohammad,
it´s technically perfect, not just a try :)
I think I will go for RAW soon..
Compliments, Chris

Hi Mohammad

Superb graphism, with the dark background really making the colours on the bee 'pop'. A marvellous zoom shot, with good sharpness. Tfs!

carper (96) 2008-05-17 0:42

hello Mohammad,
congratiolation my friend, this is a very good one with this 100mm lens. you asked me what abetter lens is for the macro shot's I think it wil be the 180 mm lence, but there is a pricecard to. This is a question you can ask on the Treknature forum, I know for sure that there are people who have the knowledge to help you my friend. This one is for sure a very good try, marvelous quality and a fantastic capture. Have a great weekend mohammad.

Hi Mohammad,
erh... very nice try but the subject seen this close is a bit worrying... that being said the level of detail is outstanding and the focus excellent, this ensures a vividness of the subject that really rocks. I can't tell you which lens is better but this one seems excellent. Only thing is I'd clone the disturbing white area.
Have a nice day JY

noborders (1010) 2008-05-17 2:49

You had good reflexes, I was wondering how you had done this but reading your note it explains... The dark BG is fantastic in this case.
I don't really find necessary to erase the white spot, on the contrary... Lovely and perfect !
Compliments, dear Mohammad,

erdo (569) 2008-05-17 5:49

I can see the pollens stocked in the tails and below. For interest we can see it in your picture how bees are natural fertilisers. Where I live they either use chemicals (hormones) for fertilizing the vegetables artificially, or bees are doing the fertilisation of fruits and vegetables by naturaly transferring. I can see it here. So sharp for a moving objects macro. Beautiful Colors of the nature.Yellow pollens.TFS.

Hello Mohammad,
This photo is splendid! About the technical site and lenses I know nothing,so I can't give you advice,but the macro lens of your friend makes beautiful macro photos!(and you of course)
And the bee takes a lot of honey home :)
Kind greetings,
Frieda.

josepmarin (59385) 2008-05-17 11:37

Hi Mohammad,
A fantastic shot!
It is a great work with your macro lens, and you have caught with a great sharpness the flight of this bee, on a black background, which has an excellent graphical effect.
I like also the dynamism by the movement of its wing.
Bravo!
Friendly regards,
Josep

axiotea (21651) 2008-05-17 23:49

Bonjour Mohammad
Lots of details to look at, with great textures and colors. I also can see some of the pollen stuck on the body of the the bee. The movement of the wing is amazing too...
I'm not an expert, but the white spot on the left side, somehow, doesn't disturb me...
Best regards from Paris

Bonjour Mohammad,
Merci beaucoup de ta visite.
Une image macro fantastique, certainement pas facile à réaliser. Je ne connais pas cette technique mais, avec un spécialiste, le résultat est spectaculaire.
Amitiés.

Didi (61589) 2008-05-20 3:16

Hi Mohammad
Very nice picture, we can see the movements of the bee's wings.
About your choice I suggest you the 100 mm macro lens the image will be bigger than the 180 mm macro lens with a respectable distance of your subject.
Cheers

Jonas_Schmitt (3074) 2008-05-20 12:09

Hello Mohammad!
