Description I was testing out my new macro lens, standing in the garden, looking mighty stupid, when I heard this buzz around my head, I looked up to see this massive bee flying around me, twice the size of any of the other types of bees I had seen. I desperately followed through the garden (probably through countless spider webs) until he came to a stop at this bush. I quickly snapped away, trying to get a nice sharp image.

Edit: 7/12/06 I hated the old border, so I gave it a new one

This is a really slick shot man, My macro shots are nowhere near this nice, how did you get such a zoom while keeping stability?!

See. Your border is way more cool... Yours is square
Btw how did you get the flower in front of it? I'm only using elements so all I can do for borders is drag one on.

George-le-meilleur In reply to Jer-Trow [2008-08-01 09:20:55 +0000 UTC]

Sure! I'd love to see your gear again.
And can you bring a disk with photoshop on it? I've only got elements, but we could install it and just run the trial so I could have another go with it.

wow! Awesome macro! I'd love to buy a macro lens too, so I can take pictures like this, but it's currently beyond my budget

About your picture...the colours are amazing and the DoF is absolutely right. Great shot!

oh the wonderful world of photography is an expensive hobby.. i think of all the things i want for it and it all ads to over $100,000 australian dollars

i need to win the lottery

thanks so much for the comment and i'm glad u like the pic.. i'd have to say the DoF is the one thing i would change if i had my time again, just a little bit longer, get the whole bee in focus.. but thankyou so much
