I'm experimenting with my new Tamron 70-300 1:2 Macro lens,
and was lucky to get this bee in the frame. Only afterwards I
noticed the pollen flying from the flower. Stunning that there is
motion blur in the pollen even at 1/2000s! What do you think?

    Very good capture! I like it. The pollen still has motion blur but so do the wings of that little bee at 1/2000! Talk about muscles!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
