About Should have seen Doyle cringe when he saw how close I was getting to the bees playing in the Jasmine. Yet, he also says he is very jealous of this shot. Taken with the 28-90 with extension tubes. This is only the 2nd time I used the tubeS. The only adjustment is to lighting.

Very well done inflight macro, Marlyce! Excellent clarity and colours!
Dave.


Marlyce Chastain   {K:4059} 4/1/2007
Thank you Michele


Marlyce Chastain   {K:4059} 4/1/2007
Doyle, no stings....no strings


Marlyce Chastain   {K:4059} 4/1/2007
Thank you Dave


Jan Hoffman   {K:39445} 4/1/2007
Unusual to see "action" macros. These have to be very difficult to do and you did them so well. Almost like you staged the little fellows.
--Jan


Marlyce Chastain   {K:4059} 4/1/2007
Thank you Jan. Actually I have to say it was pretty lucky....I just happen to be shooting the one when the other showed up. I did have the camera set for a macro and was trying to take for movement as these guys do not seem to stay still for more than 2 seconds.


Meg Metcalfe   {K:5991} 4/2/2007
A fabulous macro and most unusual too! Only thing I'd do different with this would be to do a crop from the top in order to remove the blown whites on the flower. :)


Susie  Peek-Swint   {K:5041} 4/2/2007
Excellent capture with great detail Marlyce ~ glad you didn't get stung!


Leonie Fitzpatrick   {K:40473} 4/2/2007
Love it Marlyce...:))) A bit like * when you're finished, my turn to fill the baskets* line up...:))) DoF and PoF extra nice...:)

Way better than Breakfast at Tiffany's ~~GRIN~~...

Have just been trying to get the bees in our Easter Daisies... After seeing this, I'll keep trying...:)

Excellent...:)))

Onie...


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100221} 4/2/2007
Keep trying Onie . . . A great title might be "Please Don't Eat the Daisies"! LoL!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Paul's Photos   {K:34957} 4/2/2007
nice capture.... good timing


Gayle's Eclectic Photos   {K:91003} 4/4/2007
Congrats for a unique macro!...and the Doylster should be very jealous of this shot...hehehe...great timing and execution,lady
stellar dof and love the line up with the stop action....i don't know if this is a male and female,but another title could be "Ladies first"

yeah, there are some hot spots as Meg mentions,but maybe there is some edit tool to bring down the brightness because i wouldn't want to lose that much of the image by cropping....part of the appeal for me are the BG colors and blurred shapes

best regards,gayle


Marlyce Chastain   {K:4059} 4/10/2007
Thank you Meg. I did look at a crop to take out the flower, but personally liked the openess more. It was a hard decision.


Marlyce Chastain   {K:4059} 4/10/2007
Thank you Susie....I really wasn't worried about getting stung....I know Doyle was chewing his knuckles, but bees don't worry me....neither do bears....no wonder Doyle won't take me to the mountains any more.


Marlyce Chastain   {K:4059} 4/10/2007
Thank you Onie....always love to hear your comments. Especially when you pick on Doyle!


Marlyce Chastain   {K:4059} 4/10/2007
Don't pick on Onie!


Marlyce Chastain   {K:4059} 4/10/2007
Thank you Paul..........sometimes timing is everything!


Marlyce Chastain   {K:4059} 4/10/2007
Thank you Gayle, always love to hear from you. I did look at the crop issue and liked the openess as it seems you do also. I don't mess much with tools as I don't know how much and don't like to mess up...so I kept the brightness...maybe someone else can fix....me I just like the thrill of getting something that I can say "wow, I did that"
