I don't do Bugs, and I don't do Flowers, but...

--My wife begged me to get a shot of this guy...







I didn't quite nail the focus. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing this poor bumble bee all over the place. He was doing all that he could, to just hang on.

I shot this with my R1, hand-held and set to Manual Focus, ISO 400, 1/320sec, f4.8

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Dick. Thanks MBZ.

I guess that you could say that this is my first bug/flower macro. Although not quite as good as most that I see from others. That's why I say that I don't do them, because it takes a certain creative perspective, that I lack.

Again, thanks for the kind comments...

Well, I also hang out over at the DPR Forums. A while back, I use to display this image. Could that be where you saw it? Here's a closer look...

Thanks again and take care...
