tlc Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Finally I got a bee! They are not the best but still. It was funny, I went to the mail box and just happened to have the camera around my neck as we had just come back from the park when all of a sudden I hear buzzzz buzzzz and I instantly knew it was a bee, well I grabbed my camera so quick and found it and went snap snap. :laugh: This is what I ended up with!

tlc Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Beautiful! How good is the lens for portraits! S awesome, I know mines not 105 but similar at 100, I love it for my action shots too! I'm shooting a netball game tomorrow night for work, might give it a go with the 100mm see what I can come up with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huga Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 The 105mm is not suitable for action at all! Too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Ah ok, wonder why? I thought there wouldn't have been a lot of difference between the 100 and the 105? Pers that lady bug is amazing, what are you using for your macro shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Nice shots Dogfan, I love experimenting too, its amazing what you can come up with doing Macro stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 what are you using for your macro shots? my old fuji finepix S8000D point/shoot . ... it has a very useful macro function :). I don't know how other macro lenses work ..but with this ..I get to within about 1- 2 cm from my subject ..and it is great fun - a hunt /stalk and capture process. Sometimes it takes a looong time to get them used to having a lens in their faces , literally. :) I love it. this one - bee fly , is breakfasting on a thistle :) It took ages to settle down and start feeding again ... fascinating little critter!

Pers that lady bug is amazing, what are you using for your macro shots? No idea, but it hunts. Side on might be ok, but something moving toward you (shifting focal plane) it is nearly impossible. But that is tough for a lot of lenses. In fact, only my 50mm is ok with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Another one from the other day.. ok. Instant favourite!!! Soft and understated and beautiful :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Well pers your camera does a great job of macro! Thats wierd about the 105mm, I know exaclty what you mean though its my 50mm that does it, I used it today with some success, I feel bad because I got it when I got my camera and have used it the least. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Love the ladybug Pers!! Both my 24-70mm 2.8 and 70-200mm 2.8 lenses are pretty good at shooting action moving toward you. :) Another one from the other day.. Love this, gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
