I was determined to catch this hard working Carpenter Bee. Took many missed clicks....I recently updated my hiking point and shoot to a Sony DSC-HX400v. Call me strange but I get much better photos with this than my Nikon. It is so easy to carry also and the 50x optical zoom gets me closer than a 600 lense.
Terrific shot. Great bee photo. I like the twinkle in the eyes. Your Sony takes great pictures. I have a Panasonic bridge camera which has a zoom much more powerful than my Nikon DSLR but then I can enlarge y Nikon pictures several times and they will remain well focused while I cannot enlarge much those taken by my Panasonic. Besides it is more fun to use the dslr than the bridge camera.
