DEK Macro Photography: Shiny Bee

I took a couple of shots of this bee and later, in Lightroom, I've noticed that its back is like a multifaceted crystal. The last shot is a zoomed in crop of the second image, in which you can hopefully see its magical shiny armor plating.

I'm on a quest to obtain the incredible Fujifilm 56mm f/1.2 and the excellent Fujifilm X-T2 camera. This is a duo made in heaven, especially for street photographers, such as myself.

Help me get the gear I want - if you've enjoyed this post, please upvote and resteem, so I can continue posting my work exclusively on Steemit, as I have done so far.
