I was using my new KX-800 twin flash, camera set to manual, using my Canon 100 mm L macro lens. Settings were f16, 1/250, ISO 200.

Wow! Amazing shot, Shirley! A wonder it can still fly with that load! <>< #11563997

I can't decide which I'm more impressed with, the way you captured the action or those amazing pollen sacks!!! <>< #11564023

Thank you, Chuck and Nancy, I really appreciate it. I am amazed at these little guys, and how they can store up so much pollen in the sacks, and still fly. I guess they know when is enough, God created them after all, and so He gave them that knowledge too. <>< #11564027

God certainly created an amazing creature with the honeybee! Incredible capture, Shirley. I think I need a twin flash, and then a dose of your amazing skills! <>< #11569647

Oh wow, thank you, Michele, you humble me. That KX-800 twin flash is well worth the money (I think I got it from B&H for $289). Yes, God created an amazing creature in the honeybee. <>< #11569680
