Could be the same one. IDK?

I have yet to get a good bee shot.  I can't seem to track them well enough to get a good shot.  They move around to fast for me to even lock on to them.  I most definitely need practice at that.

Thumper, a good moment to trap them is when they are just sitting on a flower and are busy collecting pollen. Unfortunately with the flower in the attached picture it was hardly possible to get a capture from the front.

Paul, try cropping the picture as the number of pixels on your sensor should allow you to do so, in order to zoom into the picture.

Thanks!  I'll try that next time.   When I rented a 105mm Micro, I tried several times to get a shot of bees.   The flower bed that I was at had a ton of bees flying around it, but they didn't land at any flower for very long.   My wife had a good laugh (actually quite a few) at me trying to get those shots.

Jerry, I don't understand cropping. I'm shooting with manual lenses.

It is about processing the capture on the computer.

Some cameras will also allow to directly crop on the camera by using the editing tools.

Cropping is about reducing the capture to that part of the picture that is interesting.

Paul, what software are you using when you import your photos to your computer? You should be able to use that software to crop your image.
