Gorgeous day in the bay area today, so I took the the camera outside to try out some macro shooting.    ;D  

The bees were a pain in the butt because they just kept flying around, so I had to catch them in the air, that was fun, it was like target practice

I had to stand right where they were buzzing around though so it was a little scary...

I'm not using a true macro lense so they aren't as nice as they could be, but this lense will do for now.

Nope  ;D  I had to take about a hundred shots, sat out there for an hour just shoot, focus, shoot, focus, they dart around a lot  >:(  These are the only shots that turned out  :P
