| As Aaron said great shots Dave, and thanks for sharing the information, this will come in handy. I have been taking quite a lot of flowers, to many to post. Using the macro I have a problem with a slight blur by hand holding. I guess I'm just to lazy to use the tripod.

| Took the camera to work today to do a little cleaning on it. Afterwards, I went out back and "stalked" some bees!

| Thanks guys, glad you've enjoyed them! My co-workers thought I was nuts, just sitting in the middle of the field like I was, but I chose a cluster of plants that looked promising, sat down and kept still. Pretty soon the bees came back and went about thier business. I was in no hurry to get any shots, I just left the camera on Program Automatic, using my 100 m/m Macro and fired away. There were plenty of missed or out of focus shots, but on the otherhand, I scored some really nice ones as well. These two are the most interesting, as they have good colors & contrasts, plus the bees are in really good positions. The upper photo would have been nicer if the shutter speed was a bit faster so it would have froze the bee's wings, but hey, I killed about a half hour and dumped a ton of work-related stress... I'm not gonna complain!
