Bumble bee

goooner · Apr 20, 2015

I've been trying to do some macro shots, but have been struggling with my timing. A bumble bee has made a nest in our wall, so I tried to catch it. These 2 shots were usable, but I'll need to practice much more. C&C and tips will be very helpful.

1. Incoming...

2. What's up in there?

Thanks, I had my flash on the wrong side but I'll get some better shots next time.

Getting sharp macro shots of moving targets is super tough. So I think you did a great job with this set^^

I think bumble bees are pretty darn cute, so this set works for me!

Bee careful. You may have a nest in there.

The other day I was trying to take photos of a flying around bumblebee in my backyard with my Sigma 150-500. Let's just say, I need a lot more practice.
