I spent an embarrassingly long time this weekend trying, and largely failing, to photograph bees & other flying things on the wing.

... and a few when they'd landed...

[DibblyDobbler]

Good work Getting them in flight is very very hard - I've only ever fluked the odd one

There are some truly astonishing photos on here.

I've recently been gifted a 100mm F2.8L macro lens and I intend to learn how to use it (along with all the other gear that goes with it) properly. This was my first attempt at something different, it is not in the same league as the other contributions on here but I was pleased with how it turned out for a first go.
