These probably would have been easier to capture if I had a macro lens but all I had was my 50mm. Bees don't like to pose in mid air. After seeing Sistertex's Face of the Week I've decided that the little face in the bottom photo will be my enty. If you have a face photo or want to see other's check out Sistertex's Face of the Week meme.
Nice capture!

Cool. I couldn't get them no matter what lens I tried. Mid air? Wow. I like this. :)
ReplyDeleteI like them!
ReplyDeleteWow - that is amazing. Not easy to capture something like these!
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs James.
ReplyDeleteCostas
superbe vol du bourdon
ReplyDeleteBee-U-tiful! Great captures for sure!
ReplyDeleteSunny :)
Awesome shots, especially with a 50mm. It would have been tough to get that close with a macro lens. Good work my friend.
ReplyDeleteGREAT capture! Look ma, no wings!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are still amazing. Awesome shots.
ReplyDeleteA macro isn't necessarily going to make it easier, just different. I think you've done quite a fine job and the black background in the top one it pretty cool.
ReplyDeletewow James, these pictures are wonderful, magnificent macro!
ReplyDeleteThe first one is my favourite, I can hear the lovely critter singing around!
Well done
Léia :)
Great job. Love the dramatic solid color backgrounds. They really highlight the bee. Great capture!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow...love that first shot. When I saw it my first thought was..."How the heck did he do that."
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots James!
ReplyDeleteHi again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, James! Fits right in this week for sure! Again great photos and thanks so much for participating in 'Face of the Week' this week!! Hugs.
I'm back yet again! Thanks James for mentioning the link issue. It is going to the right page now and all you would need to do is scroll down to the bottom. So sorry for the misdirection. I *do* very much appreciate you looking!!! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteAmazingly bee-utiful! I love these shots.
ReplyDeleteI love both of them- but the first is my "favoritist". You must have patience!
ReplyDeleteWonderful closeup photos! Love the tiny face (as long as it isn't flying straight at me)
ReplyDeletewow, awesome captures!
ReplyDeleteA masterpiece of a potrait. Chapeau !
ReplyDeleteA shot in the dark! Great lighting!
ReplyDeleteJames these are not that easy to take, especially flying, and you did it. Well done. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteVery well done - both shots!
ReplyDeleteBellissimo scatto !
ReplyDeleteUn piccolo volo che rappresenta il grande volo che tutti noi umani vorremmo fare !
Nice pictures. Well done getting in-flight shots. I have enough trouble getting these guys when they are landed. We need more bees!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with these James!
ReplyDeleteThese are outstanding, James! Great work!
ReplyDeleteWow, truly amazing!
ReplyDeletethat certainly is a face rarely seen - great portrait!! The Secret Life of Bees writ large..
ReplyDeleteThe living entity shines in darkness.
ReplyDeleteI feel life.
Incredible, James... You should contact the BBC or NatGeo if you have this much talent....
ReplyDeleteMarvellous capture! Difficult to catch a flying bee since they move quite fast :-)
ReplyDeleteIncredible captures, James. That must have been some fast shutter speed.
ReplyDeleteJames I have NO idea how you were able to take these--I'm just flabbergasted. These photos just fill my eyes--which is the greatest compliment I can give.
ReplyDeletefantastic catch!!
ReplyDeleteexcellent shots, James!!!!! :)
