Found a Eucalyptus tree that was blooming and drawing bees! Search for big slow moving bugs in non windy conditions in bright directional light continues!

All criticism and helpful pointers are cherished! Below are my attempts:

    Thanks Bas! You, Brian, Ian, and Paul....trying to make my teachers proud! bowdown.gif
    Ways to go though.
    Macro is without question in my mind the HARDEST of all photography fields.
    It is so tiring to hold camera steady.....I need to work out or something.
    So many things can go wrong.....wind is biggest culprit....focus is next biggest.
    While I was shooting, my every other thought was, how in the world these guys do it!
    Cheers!

    Love the first 3 shots and then #5 & #11 are good. The shots with the wasp have a lot of blown colour in them in the red and yellow but #8 came out pretty well.

    Thanks Brian! I will check the processing. I think it is too warm because I put ton of paper on diffuser. I should have reduced the temp. Something I intent to take care of next time! Cheers!
