Andrew - top shots, mate. Those native bees, particularly the in flight one, real nice. Bit of trivia - I'm sure I read somewhere that they were looking at our very own Australian native bees that you shot there for space research or something, because bees pollinate trees/plants so much better than artificial means and our natives are the most efficient at doing that of all the bee species. Think they were looking at it for long space missions, self-sustainability, growing stuff in space etc.
Dennis - lovely collection there. That ringlight gives a nice light. What might help your lighting issues, not that I can see any problems above, is to shoot the camera in Manual mode and set the exposure to maybe one stop less than ambient, and play with the E-TTL flash exposure compensation down to minus 1/3 to 2/3. It's a bit of trial and error, but that's the sort of ballpark. It was a bit hard getting the ambient light right on Sunday, because it was bright/sunny one minute, then cloud passed, then back to bright sunny. Much easier if it's constant - full sunlight or fully cloudy.
