    Marvellous pictures, a well spent afternoon. How do you get the bees so cooperative?

    Sweet! I like #5 with the bee in between flowers. Glad you made the sacrifice and went out into the heat!

    Wonderful shots. Can't think of any way to make them better - #5 is awesome!

    Thanks Penolta, Tom, Jack, Dal, Kjell, GW, Glenn, and Harriet. This was a great vacation for photography and at least one of the Pentax cameras was with us everywhere.

    Kjell, this was a pretty optimal bee spot. There were four or five bushes of the same type the bees were working on and they pretty much ignored me if I stood in one spot. If only butterflies were so cooperative.

    Thanks again ya'll,

    Tim

    Hi Tim

    Some great captures here. Which lens? Flash? Hand held?

    cheers

    Thank you BB2. All were shot handheld, my macro is an old Kiron/Lester A Dine 105mm f/2.8 manual focus. I think all of these had flash but I did have a few keepers that were done with only natural light.

    Thanks,
    Tim

    Really nice sequence. I laugh at your vacation description because of my wife's concern this summer that I would never see Hawaii on our vacation because my eye would be glued to a viewfinder.
