Wow,welch grandiose Flugaufnahme lieber Keith und wie ich sehe,hast du das mit einer 1/60 ganz toll gemacht,herrlich sitzt der Fokus und die Blüte und die Biene sind gestochen scharf,da gib's beide Daumen nach Oben :))

Glad you like this one so much Güni................I was lucky to get it so sharp, but F13 helped as well as using flash to freeze the motion.

I like this one Keith. Its either a go-around for the runway again or its a hover helicopter landing! All depends on speed! Lovely. Well done.

Cheers. Herb

Ha, ha.........it was a go round I think. It was the tallest flower on the bush and several bees had been landing on it, so I focused on the flower and just had to wait. Pure luck really!

Glad you like it........and thanks very much,
