Hi Peeps

Firstly let me apologise to all those hay fever sufferers out there..this little devil is adding to your problem I know.

I took this capture last weekend in the back garden after following this bumble bee about at with the lens and watching him working.

I decided not to crop any off the left of this shot as I wanted the pollen in motion to be quite clear so aside from cropping away some of the flower this image is excactly as taken with the frame added in photofiltre.

I hope your all looking forward to a nice weekend

TTFN regards Smurfie

Hi Smurfie
This is amazing how you have managed to capture the bits of pollen flying out. The detail of the bees wings too is just simply fantastic.
Lovely shot.

Réal.

Hello Helen,

This struck me as lovely composition from the thumbnail. Full size, the sharp details become evident too!

You might need to frame this as a memento. The bees, or lack of them, is noticeable to me this year. The garden is usually buzzing on a warm day; there have been isolated hums!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

hello dear helen

lovely action shot
i love the blurr all around...
good bg, and lovely colors
you have captured good details in action

overall an interesting, action filled composition

The colours and sharpness are brilliant. I love the way the pollen is falling from the flower.

Bonjour helen
Magnifique la netteté sur ce bourdon,l'exposition est juste,la netteté est présente sur le sujet et il se détache très bien par une très bonne gestion de la DOF.
Bravo et bonne soirée
Amicalement
Gildas

HI Helen
You could call this an action shot with that bee so busy spreading pollen around. Great shot to be able to capture the falling pollen and your presentation is great.
Dot

Simply superb!
Good timing.
Lucky you to make such a good catch.

hello Helen,
lovely and intersting capture. Atishooo! I have taken note of your camera settings with interest, especially the 400 ISO. Will have another go today at chasing bees around my garden (if the sun stays).
