Andrena rugosa, f, face, upper marlboro, md

This specimen was shot upside down and then inverted in photoshop to see what it would look like in terms of lighting. Its not bad, but I think I prefer the lighting coming more predominantly from above. This specimen is from my frontyard in Upper Marlboro, Maryland on a wonderful clump of wild plum...Andrena magnetic for sure.Canon Mark II 5D, Zerene Stacker, Stackshot Sled, 65mm Canon MP-E 1-5X macro lens, Twin Macro Flash in Styrofoam Cooler, F5.0, ISO 100, Shutter Speed 200, link to a .pdf of our set up is located in our profile
