Bee in flight with pollen on it's body; Wasp close up

1/400 sec. f/8 100mm ISO 250


It's nice to see the bees out back working the flowers again .. here are a couple of photos taken with my Cannon 50D and 100mm Macro lens.
1/500 sec. f/8 100mm ISO 400
This camera is helping me to get a better understanding of how to capture a well composed macro shot. I'm doing everything on "Manual" mode so I can control all aspects of the photo: shutter, aperture, ISO, focus and composition. It's actually kind of fun - like a balancing act.. wanting to speed up the shutter for the flying bee's, but not wanting to increase the ISO to much .. etc - I'm learning.

The PowerShot was a great starter macro camera (as can be seen in the quality of the fly photo taken with it), but this 50D is a good step to a better understanding and some better captured images.
