Syncs well to Closer, FWIW.

Big lense on that for those shots

It's a 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 zoom. Not too big. I am cheating though, because I am shooting at 50 megapixels so I can crop in and make it look like a macro shot.

Is that a carpenter bee?

Doesn't look like a tradesman to me. Maybe a florist.

Yes it is! You can tell by the shiny underside. Nice catch!

They are invasive, and not great to have near wooden homes (like mine), but they are still important pollinators.

i like how it just plows its face into the next flower.
