bee approach

Bee-Approach-001Playing with my camera on a sunny day in the garden.  I was using a Nikon D7000 with a 105 mm macro lens.  I couldn't get the shutter speed to be faster than 250 so the bee's wings aren't "frozen."  I should spend more time reading the manual. The camera was on a tripod and manually focused on this particular flower.  I waited, in the sun, until a bee arrived.  I used a cable release to avoid shaking the camera and a ring flash on the lens.
