It’s a great opportunity when hovers and bees find out that the inner pistils of purple passion blooms are loaded with pollen. These flowers are so colorful!

Thank you all for the comments.

@Michael, I presume that the light is stronger than the light from my DIY Ring Flash...I'm still learning higher mag macro with the MT-24EX...it's getting better.

I really think that the MT-24EX will really become practical once I start shooting with the MP-E 65mm...but that may be awhile.
