was actually hoping to get some bird life, but got the bees instead. 1/320, f5.6. Not quite as sharp as i had hoped, but i like it non the less. Next time will work on faster shutter speed, these guys are sooo quick.

Strewth! That looks pretty sharp to me! If you want any sharper, you'll have to get a dedicated macro. BTW...nice colour and composition.:)

Love the colours there, Tina!

Do you have a flash for your 400d yet? If not, that's got to be the next addition to the sig surely. That could help you get the faster shutter speeds if you didn't want to push up the ISO.

Hi Tina;
Nicely presented image...
All our bees over here are slowing down & going to sleep now for the winter!
Cheers;

Nice shot Tina. I think this one worked without a flash. Well done.

Absolutely Spectacular Photo! The Frame adds a lot to the capture, but the capture really does not need any help. You did a wonderful job in the composition! I would love to be able to do such a beautiful job in phototaking!
