Out in the garden this afternoon with the macro lens, I decided to spend 15 minutes or so following some bees around. Here are some results.

Adam, I love the first one and I think it is fantastic with its colour and sharpness. Very well done!

G'day

Nice captures.

What gear and setting were the first one? The Sigma 105 + converter?

To me bees always look more graceful flying than when they are crawling.
Did you manage to get any shots at the face of a flying bee. I can only get side on or rear shots, my face must scare them?

I am going to show my 13yr old son who was chasing bees yesterday with my D70. This is what he should aim at.

Great work.
