I always do manual with the macro, but, you know my skills are less than stellar. :) I love photographing flowers, I think it all started because they didn't move too much and they were very forgiving in so many ways.
I'll be honest. Looking through the viewfinder doesn't work that well for me as I never see what I am really getting. So, I usually take a couple of shots with different angles. I actually like the second to last shot best, The dead flower against the vibrant green. There really is beauty in the demise of things.
Great capture on the bee. I always have such a hard time with them!
Have a beautiful Sunday, my friend!
I often use manual and try different angles and different settings taking macros then don’t do any for months and forget the settings that worked best lol
