Bee in Flight

I went to a butterfly house yesterday to shoot butterflies. Unfortunately there were only 3 and they kept being against a terrible background that I haven't yet figured out how to change...can't seem to successfully select the butterfly in elements. Anyway, I got some critter shots I like

[drew huy]

Nice shot! Elements can make you crazy...do you mean you are trying to use the lasso tool?

[Kerri]

Beautiful! Fav

[Jane Pittenger]

@drewhuy I was trying the quick selection tool. Any suggestions?

[Susan Knowles]

[Helen]

Oooh - nice one - you've mastered this - I've just been looking at a lovely one by @cleanfreak - Carol was wanting to know how to get the wings ?

[Pam Hawkes]

Fantastic mid air capture Jane! Awesome job!

[Jane Pittenger]

@elsbels I aimed for a high shutter speed and f of 7-8 so I could get as much of the bee as possible in focus and I used spot metering. And I took a lot of shots!

[Jane Pittenger]

@elsbels I was trying to search for @cleanfreak but keep getting kicked off. Would you ask her to come to my project so I can get to hers?

[Paula]

Great shot!

[Dawn Irwin]

Perfect timing Jane, great capture!
