My eldest daughter and I went for a bit of a walk to photograph some flowers in the streets in our suburb that we'd spied when driving past - we took the camera with the Tamron 90mm 1:1 macro plus the tripod and my larger 5 in 1 reflector. As always I'd welcome any feedback, comments or critique... As it turns out the flowers I'd planned to photograph didn't turn out so well but we did manage to capture these nearby...  NIKON D90 + 90.0 mm f/2.8 @ 90 mm, 1/320 sec at f / 8, ISO 200  NIKON D90 + 90.0 mm f/2.8 @ 90 mm, 1/160 sec at f / 9, ISO 200 In the following I've traded off depth of field (a wider aperture) for a faster shutter speed in an attempt to freeze the bee.  NIKON D90 + 90.0 mm f/2.8 @ 90 mm, 1/400 sec at f / 6.3, ISO 200 D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro SticksRodney - My Photo BlogWant: Fast Wide (14|20|24)

Looks like there was a lot of direct sun on these....esp #1 where you have very bright flowers and a loss of detail
Congrats on the bee in flight on #2!! I have been trying to do this for ages and have never managed to do so....maybe I will have to drag out the tripod next time!

Strangely it was the first which was taken with the scrim to provide filtered light and was shot on the tripod (I have increased the exposure by half a stop in Lightroom however - still with no clipping). It was actually the later two which were shot handheld and in direct light (my daughter had tired of holding it by then whilst I was chasing the bee around the small tree  ). The shots do look bright but none were exposed with any highlight clipping (the open sun ones were shot with a little negative exposure compensation to ensure this). The hardest part of catching the bee in flight was aiming/moving the camera and timing the shot - with the abundance of flowers on this bush the bees tended to flit around extremely quickly.

Congratulations! You managed to take very nice shots.
I like the first one because of the way you used the
depth of field.
The second because of the bee in midair.
The third one could be a touch sharper, but I still think
is a lovely shot. I am a bit jelaous because I never
managed to get a shot with a bee or butterfly comparable
to what you got in this posting.
