Nature Bees Knees

Yes, More bees.

I've started shooting with a lot more flash. It's really improving my sharpness, with the downside that a lot of shots have a pitch black background

but not these.

one

two

three

four

five

six

Love those bee in flight shots! I've yet to attempt them, but I can imagine the difficulty involved..

Nicely done. Patience is a virtue...

to be honest I don't know how I managed to get them in focus. I think I instinctively move back when he pops off the flower, and the lens is in manual focus so it hits. F16 doesnt hurt either. All hail the diffused flash!

wherein I hijack my own thread. from the same shoot and not actually a bee but an "abu" in japanese.

and one flying, but this wasn't sharp
