Flight of the Honeybees!!!!!!! Part Deaux!!!!!!

I was going to post these in my bee thread from yesterday, but these are 100000x better.

I want to thank Iggy for the advice last night. I set a dime on the ground and practiced with different settings and lenses. I realize my macro filters are easier to use and make better shots with my 18-55 lens, instead of my 75-300 lens.

Yesterday I took 120+ shots and had two images half worth a damn. Today I took about 70 shots and have about 15 good shots and about 10 great shots (IMO)

I still cannot believe I took these. I feel like a hunter with his first kill.

Here are a few of my favorites!!!!!!

A couple more

I don't know what you did differently but this is working very well! Awesome results. #4 in the first set and #2 in the second post are my favourites but they're all really good. Great perseverance and effort!

#4 is my favorite as well, but #1 should have been because of the wings, but it is just OOF.

Here are a couple more from yesterday

You sure are taking on difficult subjects when learning macro. Subjects that don't move are much easier to learn on :)
