Still Life with Smoker and Frame Perch

I was able to use my new frame perch this past weekend, and it has really helped with getting better photos of the bees. Before I had to try and hold the frame still while someone took the shot which is very difficult to do especially with a macro lens where the depth of field is limited. Now photos can be taken of the frame in the perch while I continue inspecting the hive.  This helps reduce the amount of time I have the hive open plus the photos come out better.
