First Bees with Macro Lens

[kljucd1]

Hi,

I bought a Tamron SP90mm Macro Lens a little while ago and finally got a chance to take it out and try and catch some bees.

Not perfect but good enough for my first attempt at flying insects doing their thing.

Higher res versions of these are here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kljucd1/2933586936/sizes/l/) and here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kljucd1/2932731305/sizes/l/).

Regards

:ashamed: thanks for the compliment
I am but a novice... you should see some of the work the guys on the fred miranda board do... OMG!!!

i recon i do ok for a d40 and lenses from the 1970's tho

i have a hint for you tho, if you dont have an external flash use the popup one and secure some paper towel to it with a rubber band. makes for better lighting and a bitt of diffusion to match :D
