Posted by Behrooz Sangani (Tehran, Iran) on 23 May 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
I tried a little series about insects (to be precise, bees) last week. All the pictures you view in this series are taken within two hours that I shared with these wonderful creatures. The fun part was that I do not have any lenses and I needed to get really close to them. This is my humble effort to show some moments of their lives.
Hi. This is me, the bee. It's my first picture and here you can see me entering into focus.

@Jen: Thanks Jen. It took two hours of bending on the flowers to get this series. But I think it was worth it and I'm very happy with it.
That is an awesome shot! Great details! When I see bees, I usually run the other way, but this is cool! This would make a great screensaver or postcard. Wonderful job!

@Laurie: Many thanks Laurie for the encouragement. Imagine being in the middle of them for two hours and getting as near as a few centimeters. But they are very clever. They never hurt someone who means good.
SUPER-cool shot! And so close!
