mixeduppup Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Hehe, it's a heliotrope moth. These photos are a couple of years old and my camera is broken that took them. I actually cried when it broke because I loved the macro photos it took. Now I have a crappy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossumCorner Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 * stamps both feet * I wanna Bee to shoot..... They have more sense this week, it is just too damned cold and windy for them to be out and about unless they are desperate. The few at my Nashi pear were as cranky as, and usually the bees around here are so placid. When the flowering euc on the back 'lawn' was bringing them in thousands, I was some worried about the dogs and ponies being bitten, but it was all sweetness and light. Except some dirty temper just between the gangs from some different hives. They can pick a stranger right away, and have some fierce fights.

PossumCorner Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Don't need these, I could mail you some tlc - today was calm, first non-gale-force-wind day for ages. This lot must have been waiting for the first nice sunny still day to swarm. Might account for some of the aggro in the pear blossom. 90 Tamron macro lens, and no I was not going any closer, they are not happy campers.

tlc Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Amazing bee shots everyone! CC that last shot is awesome with the movement of the wings, so good! *stamps foot even harder, I want bees!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'll still send you some tlc. I just weakened, I called a collector but it was obvious it was their intention to destroy the swarm rather than keep or re-home. So I delved in the store shed and found a useable smoker, so just need to buy a hive, and a bit of safety gear, not much, yet all-up near $100 so not real happy. It will be nice to have a hive started though. The good bit: I found someone who is running a bee-keeping seminar locally in a couple of weeks, so can go along and get some refresher info on management, rego etc, and link up with small-time keepers who get their honey extraction done at a co-op so no need to invest in more 'stuff''. And need to find a spot to put them the furtherest from potential annoyance from animals. And work out how the hell to get them off the split fence and into box, wish me luck.

Kirislin Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 CC you take the cake for the cutest spider pics ever. I'm scared of spiders but yours always make me think I might want to make friends with them. I love all those big black shiny eyes. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC, please be careful, I got chased by bees one day when we were tracking they had a hive inside a big humpy thing and my partner layed my dogs article to be tracked right under it, unbeknown to me we tracked it (well the dog did :laugh: ) and on returning to base I could hear this noise and then felt stinging and there was a swarm overhead, some were on my arms, I just about had a heart attack! It was very scarey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gapvic Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Love the flying bee shots CC! and cool spiders Tlc. Good luck with the swarm PossumCorner... I've often thought I'd like to have bees but I'm a little scared of being stung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Lovely spider shots tlc, sorry no bees to send. Gapvic it took all b/y day to finally get the hive and face veil etc, and had to queue at the bank and post office forever, and when I got home the swarm had moved on. Just saw the last of them zoom off for the horizon. Quite disappointed, but at least I've got all the "stuff" now to go on with. And found out about registration needs and local bee keepers and clubs, co-op use honey extractors and so on, all good. Didn't get to Lavandula today - urgent vet call for a crook pony (all okay now) so might try again tomorrow if OH not too caught up with Bathhurst. Bees aren't difficult, you won't get stung if you wear the right things if handling the hive. Come up to Marong (just near Bendigo) next Sunday and have a look at the information field day/seminar, will be some good demonstrations of bee handling and basic management and so on for people just thinking about starting off.

Kirislin Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I'll be blowed if I can get bee shots, I took over 100photos trying, then I fluked this teeny tiny hover fly 5F6A2772dppt by kirislin, on Flickr this was the only in flight one I managed of the bee 5F6A2738dppt by kirislin, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 That first one is amazing! Absolutley love the second one too! how did you go with getting them both in focus on the move did you use servo? or just one shot? I havent tried any macro stuff thats been on the move, Ive only tried stationary stuff. But I guess its like anything else if the camera can ficus on it AI servo should still apply? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
