Nature's Nectar

I gave up trying to catch a decent picture of a bee in flight. Maybe next time.

Good shot THD... Your bees look different to ours

What did you use to shoot this?

Not a bad pic Jeff - maybe not in flight but doing acobatic tricks is good enough

D70 and the kit lens - and a little cropping of course. Really starting to think about a macro. Any suggestions of something that won't break the bank?

Nice pic, though I think that bee should learn to trust his instruments a little more. Seems to have crashed!

Nup... I broke the bank with the 105/2.8 nikkor and am glad I did it...

I believe he drank a little too much. He could barely fly a straight line. :wink:

Nice photo, but what's with the title? Is that the name of the flower?

Posted: **Tue Apr 26, 2005 7:48 pm**

great photo. So much detail and so sharp for the kit lens. Beautiful subject too. Well done.
