Recent interest in Bee's and other insects follows of my slightly less recent interest in photography. I am using a Canon XTi to take my pictures. My best macro lens is a 90mm Tamron.

UPDATE: Sadly the Tamron SP 90mm, my only true macro lens has broken (since early spring 2009). Since then I have been using less versatile lenses, mostly lacking autofocus and all lacking 1 to 1 magnification. Still, through use of make shift lenses, and macro photography tricks, I have found that there is life after death of your SP90!)

If visit my Flickr page you will see that I started out doing mostly abstract geometric digital art and pictures of my dogs. Then one day I picked up a macro lens, and the rest is history.

Do you look at EXIF info of other photos sometimes? I do too! Note, however, if you see 50mm, or F/1.8 in the EXIF of any of my photos, it probably means the lens is a manual focus lens that did not originally have AFC chips and so that information will not be correct.

[June 2009]
I would pretty much ignore any EXIF from my photos. I am mostly using manual focus lenses with no chips, or lenses with other lenses attached!

Notes:
-Caution! I am NOT an authority on insects, I just find them interesting and wonderful models.
-Editors: I hesitate to move my pages out of ID request, but don't mind moving them. Just say move to such and such page. Much the same way if I have
