Finally got a decent bee with the G7

Totally unplanned, I noticed the bees and snapped off about six shots. This one just happened to be about right.

Excellent shot!

Really nice! You might post it in the sharing forums.

Only a few centimeters. I switched to macro mode and pushed the camera down to the flower to squeeze the trigger. Since the bees were very active, I had to squeeze fast or miss them. I missed about 5 before I got this one.

Wow!

Excellent shot! I am going to buy a G9 soon to replace my S3 and Sd550 , since canon decided NOT to support RAW in the S3...

Really nice shot!!!

Hard to believe you could do that without raw............. not.

Heh... Yes, if the exposure, white balance and focus are correct, you don't always need RAW. I wish I could say every time I pull the trigger I have those attributes in the bank, but I can't say that.
