Canon EOS 300D DIGITAL
ISO Speed 200
Lens 18.0 - 55.0 mm
with 2 filters = x5

I hope you guys are just as impressed as I was when I realised that I finally captured a decent photo of a bee without the use of a macro lens. Mind you the family didn't share my excitement!!! (its just a bee after all!!):)
The uploading seems to have taken away some of the sharpness:cry: oh well

Thats a good shot! I sympathize with you on the family thing... My family are very uninterested in my photography.

Well, thats an interesting question, as I was just about sitting on him waiting and watching. overall it was probably approx. only 30cm away. I did have to crop it and then enlarged it somewhat.
