bigma bee · 06:33 AM

After getting shots of a great egret with my K20D+bigma, I came across some aquatic flowers being visited by a bee. Since I don't yet have a dedicated macro lens for my K20D, I tried taking some shots with the bigma at 500mm.

Here is a 100% crop from that image:

great capture(s).. i know firsthand how challenging it can be to catch a bee in frame...
they are always in perpetual motion...

Good effort with this lens.
Not the easiest task, but your image is reasonably sharp.
The flora seems to be blown out a bit, though.
