I tried this the other day, but the darn thing kept going in and out to fast all of mine were to blurry
This is a great shot Matt and like the red bottlebrush helps the bee stand out very nicely. This bee looks like he's buzzzie~

awww thanks so much Penny, i did have to click off quite a few shots to get this, they are so hard to capture mid flight cause ive noticed they buzzbuzz so quick between flowers, i resigned to just click click click and hoping i got one, i was lucky i did

That's how you mastered it! hehe I'll have to try that next time 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
yep, i guess it depends too on how many you have buzzing around, they were around these flowers in numbers so randomly clicking increased my chances, defiantely turn off auto focus and do that yourself

he is ... i was real happy to get one mid air, i took a heap of them but they buzz arouund so quick

Hey Laura,
To get pics of hummingbirds with your camera very hard because you would have to have a very fast shutter speed and you cant adjust that on your camera. It doesnt mean you cant get a pic, just means it would be harder, so dont give up !!!

Apparently my camera shutter speed is "10/40 second" watever that means
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
That's the determination i like to hear Laura !!!

Wow. This is really amazing! I'm not a fan of bees, but I don't mind watching a show or looking at a picture of them. It's very nice.

Nice shot! I couldn't get so close to a bee on the move. I'd be too afraid they'd give me the what for lol...

I don't know about 'hairy' but this little guy sure has a load of pollen. I love this shot...absolutely super!!!
I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever get some 'bee' shots...normally there are so many and varieties around here in the summer. Of course it is still early, but the damned mosquitoes are out as well as the flies. Both nasty little buggers! Anyway, it is snowing here right at this moment. Can you believe it!!!! On the 'upside'...at least it will catch a lot of those 'mini-vampires' and their larva. Hmm.

I was really happy to get one mid-air and in focus, the bees were all over these flowers, but they are so hard to shoot
sorry for taking so long to get back to you Joyce, i was very busy then the last couple of days ive hardly moved off the lounge with a flu ... damn thing. 
just want to thank you Joyce for your DA friendship and all of your lovely words, it means a lot
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
It was an excellent shot, you were fortunate to catch it mid-air.
Don't apologize for the time getting back to me...look at me right now.LOL I am so busy and life is hectic around here and will continue to be for a month or so. We are busy getting this house and property ready for sale, which means I'm packing some things, discarding a lot...lol
Sorry to hear you have the flu...best be very careful with this. I can't believe that I have caught a spring cold...ah...to me they are the worst.
So...you are welcome of course, and thank you for your kind words.

Moving is such a big deal ... but it sounds lovely where you are going and i'm so glad you sound so excited and happy
You're absolutely spot on a spring or summer cold is much worse, it's just the wrong time of the year to have one, keep up with the herbal tea, and i hope you're fighting fit soon.
Went on the photoshoot with today, we were blessed with one of the most awesome sunrises we could ask for, ive got a heap of great photos, you'll see some soon, then we went to some waterfalls, we had a great day
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Lucky you...glad you enjoyed your day and I am looking forward to the pictures...I can 'JUST' imagine!!!
I can't wait to get things finished up here and hit the trail again...there are some grand and wonderful wild country I would like to capture and of course the animals. I haven't been able to get out at all for the past week and I have dim prospects for next week.
If I could find a corner to hide in right now, I would! I've got the full brunt of this cold today. God Bless the "darlin'" that passed this virus on to me.LOL

Moving is such a big deal, how will the great dog zeus and the other pets handle it? I bet you wish it was just all over already.
haha do you know the "darlin" responsible?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
You have that right...moving is an ordeal, and right now I wish it were all over and done with.

Awww zeus is so cute how he looks after the wild kittens, i bet you were in a panic though when you couldnt find him.
