In my opinion the 1st shot is outstanding and my fav.

Thank you for sharing.

bs, we had snow in Dallas twice in the last 10 days. I should be jealous of your flowers, but I'm not. I AM jealous of your pictures though. Really nice work.

Stunning images, particularly the first. Nicely done sir.

Thanks all. We've had some cold rainy days for the last few weeks here in South Georgia, but today was sunny and warm. The plum tree blooms are always the first to show and get a lot of attention from the bees and other insects.

Very nice ...

I've seen a few bees and other insects recently too, the only macro shots I got were a few small flowers, the Henbit and Bluets are blooming. Blooms on Peach, Plum and Mayhaw trees, and my first pair of Blueberries to make it more than one summer just bloomed too. Won't be long and I'll be trying for some bees and such...

Excellent job on these, I think I like the middle one best.

Well done! Is the Sunpack simple enough to use?

Thanks. Yes, it is. I use it mostly on manual, it does have a couple of auto settings, and has a thyristor sensor. It has 5 power settings.

The model is DX-8R.
