    Bumble Bee on Blackberry - Oregon Thornless

    OK, so another shot of a bee. However, I am quickly coming to the conclusion that taking a picture of a bee is one of the hardest things I have tried so far in the world of photography. The problem is that they move so quickly from flower to flower and it is often dependent on the type of flower that they are visiting. This is one that I took in the evening in my back garden. It was visiting a blackberry and I took a number of pictures on both automatic and manual focus. As usual I tried to get too close in order to get a lot of detail and therefore, the switch to manual focus. I got a great shot, in focus, lots of detail, unfortunately, she had its head buried in a flower doing what bees do best.
    The photograph I have chosen to show has been cropped in, but does have the bee’s head in view, it was taken with my Canon 100mm macro lens, hand held, automatic focus, 1/320 sec, f/9, ISO 200. Please let me know what you think.
