I was enjoying my down time yesterday I did find my ability to get a decent macro somewhat frustrating. But with my companion Butterfly and a backup camera, my Canon Powershot SX10is, it really was not problematic. One thing in hindsight is bees are not great posers. They are well busy you know and cannot be bothered with the paparazzi. I was able to get a few decent shots at the long end of the zoom on the Canon of a couple of wasps, my companion Butterfly and one of the views from my court side seat to nature yesterday.
This afternoon I gave my first try at macro and my subjects were bees, and yes they are not great subject because they never stop
I am glad someone else feels my pain! I did enjoy watching them though and have a renewed admiration for those who do bee and other flying things well.
Well done.
Thanks Mike, All I did was show up the rest worked itself out man. ~John
Not quite. You knew where to be and how to be to shoot your bee. Is that a bee?
The images are sharp, the process clean, and the light is excellent.
