Wow! Stop action … I need a better camera …

This great .. and a bit interesting to see this guy close up. The eyes kinda creep me out … too many horror movies, I guess … lol

Great photography! I like the green background .. was he flying near a leaf?

Super JK – I tried the same thing yesterday to try and get a macro of a hoverfly on the wing – managed 3 passable shots, but none as clear as this!

You got this through manual focus? Good God you must have the steadiest hands on the planet! You couldn’t buy a camera that would get an AF shot as good as this- the detail is crisp and perfectly in focus, plus you caught him at a great angle- and the background is blurred to perfection and doesn’t take anything away from the subject. Inspiring work.

Looks like it was worth the trouble to me mate, now you can sit back & enjoy the comments you deserve, great work!!

Simon Mears, 2 months ago

his wings are going 16 to the dozen.. absolutely top notch quality work… good things come to those who are patient with their bees, and you had a super subject here. wonderful colours.. vast detail.. inspiring is the word

Kathleen Stephens, 2 months ago

This is a stunning piece of photography! I fight with autofocus and small images. Going manual isn’t any easier. You have endless patience and determination. Great work! (I’m still waiting for the bees to appear.)

Kathleen Stephens, 2 months ago

BTW – have you given him a name yet?

Great work. I don’t particularly care for Autofocus, much prefer manual, but my present camera doesn’t give me that option.

My hat goes off to you James. A very difficult macro indeed. Nice work mate

Hiroko, 2 months ago

WoW! Beautiful

ECGardner, 2 months ago

Wow, now that is an action shot! And I know from lots of experience that this is a damn hard shot to get, as well. I have been trying like crazy to get butterflies in flight, and out of about 1000 shots (literally) over 4 days, I managed 4 that were in focus. Only 4! So I consider it a testament to your exceptional skills with the camera that you got this in only 100 shots, lol. This is magnificent, James.

J.K. York in reply to ECGardner’s comment, 2 months ago

hey Erin. at least bees hover for moments. butterflies in flight don’t ever hover or follow any set flight plan :) i tried the BF in flight tight and gave up !!! Now, if I were in the Botanical Butterfly Garden in Gainesville, I might stand a better chance, lol.
