“Gotcha”
Taken in my backyard using Canon EOS-70D with Canon EF-L 24-105mm IS-USM lens. Settings: shutter priority mode, f/5.6, 1/250sec, ISO-100, f/length 57mm, spot metering, high-speed-continuous shooting & handheld. Bit of a bee fetish this month. Chased them for hours anywhere I saw them…even on canola. Tried each of my 3 lenses using a zillion different setting combinations. I set myself three challenges on each bee hunt…
(1) to make the bee (not the flower) the hero of the shot, (2) hold the camera steady enough so that even after the heavy cropping I knew would be needed, the zippy little critter still retained some sort of reasonable detail, (3) achieve a complimentary bokeh. Of the hundreds that I took (& the small few that I didn’t delete), I think this was one achieved my aims the best & am pretty sure the spot metering helped highlight the bee. No stings … bonus! Still plenty of room for improvement.

“Pollen”
Caught this bee on a weed flower at the cemetery. It is not a pretty flower and its not perfect but love the look of all the pollen all over the bee.
