Lame efforts from today.

I have to hand it to you folks that can shoot insects especially Bees.. I must have shot over 100 frames and this is the best of em. I'll keep plugging at it till get one I really like. The apple trees are in full bloom and boy are they overpowering. :lol:

I'm liking Number 3 quite a bit.

Dont be so modest.

I got my 100mm today and i saw a wasp earlier, I managed to get really close but it was on a white surface which ended up blown out and then the wasp got angry and attacked me.

Bad Times.

Wasps yeah they can be really nasty and very unpredictable.
Right now the bees are focused on gathering and avoiding you. I need to be about 7 foot tall to get a better shot I am just too short.:confused:.

I do love my 100 2.8 I am now waiting for a set of focusing rails. I'll be making a couple of long distance trips this year hopefully it will give me an opportunity to see some different species and some landscapes.

Missed focus on some of the shots but bees are very hard subjects- excellent BIF shot in #3 though :)
