Hi peeps

Just a quick upload this afternoon as I have done all my chores and its beautiful afternoon here so I think I am going to take the rebel out for a well earned bike ride.

This is a selection of shots taken a few days ago. I didn't really want to post any of them seperatly and felt maybe this little compo gives more of an understanding how how busy this little chap was.

I hope you are all having a good weekend.

TTFN off to get some new shots.

kind regards Smurfie

P.S. I used Photofiltre to try and blend and smudge the images together but to be honest I think I made a bit of a pigs ear of it. If anyone wants to try a workshop to blend the shots a little better or advice me on how I could have done this I would really appreciate it. Cheers

Creative idea of composition,Colorful color of subject and background,Well story.Good work,TFS.

Don't know Photofiltre too much but is there a "feather" option that goes with the selection tool?
In Paint Shop Pro, what it does is blend the edges of the selection with transparency.
Excellent montage of these excellent captures.

Love this little collage here Helen!! Brilliant idea to combine them ALL in one. ALL of them are exceptionally sharp, really nice colors! $ for 1 What a bargain!

The busy-ness of the collage is the perfect touch here -- since the bee itself never settles, neither does your eye
Superb work

Hi Smurfie,
It's summertime...summertime...summertime! Great compilation of these busy bees. Strong contrasting colours excellent brightness. The overall impresion is that it's a tiny bit hazy, like the use of gausian blurr, but in my opinion still a fine posting!

Hi Helen,

It sounds silly, but until now I have not been able to catch me a bee - and I did try, probably have to try some more, because it sure looks attractive.

Hello Helen,
you made a good chioce here with the collage. I think it makes a really attractive composition.I have recently been bee hunting but with little success although I have posted one of my pictures even though it was not sharp enough. Your bees are better. What lens did you use (we both have a 400D)?. I have yet to figure out how to make a collage like this. Did you use photoshop to put together the six images or did you do everything with photofiltre? I don't have photofiltre and maybe I should download it.
