My 1st "Bee in Flight". Carpenter bee heading for a Milkweed(I think) blossom.

Canon 100-400@400mm f/5.6 ISO 1250 1/4000"

[Keith]

Excellent in my opinion.

[Dave Humphries]

Very good Jim,

Did you lay in wait near the bloom or follow BiF (it's a semi-serious question)?

Pre-focussed?

Thanks,

[Jim B.]

Thanks for the comments.Dave,I pre-focused on the flower and waited for something to come by.

[Dave Humphries]

Thanks Jim,

Yes; I must give this a go myself sometime, I bought the remote release, but haven't used it yet

I'm thinking: sunny day, set up tripod looking at flower in garden, set myself up on a lounger with a beer and my finger on the button

Hard work this photography lark

Dave,

That sounds quite relaxing, I might try that myself one nice afternoon

[Wirefox]

Lovely shooting Jim. Nice DoF too. That lens is pretty sharp for a zoom, which model is it?

[Jim B.]

Thank you.It's the 100-400 IS.The 400 end is a little soft at 5.6,but the photos sharpen nicely.I've been shooting with it a lot the past month trying to learn the ins and outs of the lens.The more I use it the more I like it.
