Bif

My 1st "Bee in Flight". Carpenter bee heading for a Milkweed(I think) blossom.

Excellent in my opinion.

Very good Jim,

Did you lay in wait near the bloom or follow BiF (it's a semi-serious question)?

Pre-focussed?

Thanks,

Nice pic..I Beeleive you guys might like these too...:):)

Thats amaizing!

Thanks for the comments.Dave,I pre-focused on the flower and waited for something to come by.

Thanks Jim,

Yes; I must give this a go myself sometime, I bought the remote release, but haven't used it yet :o

I'm thinking: sunny day, set up tripod looking at flower in garden, set myself up on a lounger with a beer and my finger on the button ;)

Hard work this photography lark

Dave,

That sounds quite relaxing, I might try that myself one nice afternoon :)

Lovely shooting Jim. Nice DoF too. That lens is pretty sharp for a zoom, which model is it?

Thank you.It's the 100-400 IS.The 400 end is a little soft at 5.6,but the photos sharpen nicely.I've been shooting with it a lot the past month trying to learn the ins and outs of the lens.The more I use it the more I like it.

Dave,

Thumbs up on the lounger and cold beer:cool:
Jim

Kevin,
