I was tramping around on ASU after class and found a bush loaded with these little mop-like
flowers and a host of very happy bees. I had a 100L on me but no flash and with the light waning
I had to come back a few days later.
I borrowed some honey from Starbucks, grabbed the Pringlator Flash Diffuser, and set to work.
Fortunately they were hungry, and I finally got to hand...er...finger feed a couple of them. The idea had been a while
in the make and it was nice to finally realize it. I'm shocked that the mess of honey never made it from my fingers to the camera....I guess sometimes ya get lucky.
C&C always appreciated.

thanks kindly all! This is with my new 100L and I'm hoping it's a good copy.
Hopefully I can get back out there and put it through it's paces.
