I am so grateful for the modern cameras where we can shoot and shoot and not worry about the amount of photos (as long as your card allows it). I would be so frustrated with film cameras, and the more I appreciate someone who actually uses them to shoot moving objects.
I have wasted so many shots on this little guy here! He just wouldn't sit still, and the focus wasn't fast enough to catch him.
I was admiring the huge bush of pink pelargoniums. The setting sun was giving such nice light. And then I spotted the fat white butt :)
Oh yes... bumblebee!
They are like flying teddy bears with their round, furry bodies. Adorable creatures (not like the nasty beetles from this post :p)
And even though they are slower and bigger than bees, when they are in a hurry to eat as much as possible before the night, they can play hard to get. I had to use my zoom lens here to be able to catch them from the middle of the bush (it was huge!). I would not be able to get this close with my regular macro lens.
Here is a nice sequence of 4 photos one after another. You can see how he was inspecting those flowers one by one.
Most of the photos were like this 馃憞. Not counting the completely out of focus ones :p
Shot with Nikon D5500 + Tamron 70-300mm lens
