Hoverfly Insect Macro

I feel like macro photography with insects is like a never-ending quest to get closer, to get more detail, to get something more interesting. I like this type of a quest; I don't know if it will ever end, and that is a great thing. I find inspiration all around whenever I know these little creatures are near, and I can spend some time trying to capture them in all their glory. My preference is towards macro lenses that allow me to focus closer and bring out these details, so I typically either use extension tubes on a 50mm prime lens or a dedicated 60mm macro lens.

Spectacular 😍🔥

This extraordinary honey collection scene of bees has been transformed into a joyous and beautiful macro photography. Thanks for sharing this wonderful photography. Also thanks for sharing this unique view of nature showing beauty with animals.

Some more incredible photos! I thought you must have some high-class equipment to achieve these results. Here is my attempt to take a macro photo of a bee on a Hebe taken with a phone camera.

This type of photography is a whole world that we do not know about but at the same time we can appreciate it with photography as a tool to see those details better.
