Great colors!

How did you set up? focus on that flower and wait? tripod? cable release?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to get pics like that.

Zach, Shot was handheld. Saw soem bees buzzing around these flowers. Put on the macro. Switched to machine gun mode in AV. Focused on Bee and whamo. No tri or release needed. This tamron SP90 is a great little macro lens. Had real nice availible light to work with and lots of bees out.

That is an awesome picture! Great colors, and it's so sharp. I love how you can see all the hairs on the bees body. It's incredible. Good work!
