Beeeeeee! by pocketmouse

Beeeeeee!

Okay, just so you all know, bees freak the hell out of me. I don't know why I am so afraid of them, but I am. Something about the way they buzz and hover evilly around flowers and have furry bodies just bothers me. But I suppose they have a fairly important role to play in sustaining plant life, so I let them go about their business (so long as they let me go about mine).

No, I did not get nearly as close to this one as the photo might depict. I have my trusty 55-250mm lens to thank for that. :D

(These flowers have been featured previously in my 365, in macro! http://365project.org/pocketmouse/365/2010-06-24)
love the composition and especially the colors. great job facing your fear :)

Very pretty, great shot!

nice catch...
i really want to shot them but dont have the opportunity yet...

btw, have you try extension tube? they'll make non-macro lens to focus closer as a macro one (i try it, result just like my bugs pics). it's fun if you love to shot micro/tiny objects... =)

Yes, we all know how I feel about bees too! Great shot though, it's hard to not get them blurry!

That's beautiful, and I, too, would have used that lens for that sort of photo. It gives a fabulous DOF...very ncie!

VERY cool shot! I love the focus and color tones. Also, I am deathly afraid of bees too. Very afraid. Not AS afraid, however, as I am of ants.
