Was playing with the camera this morning and caught this greedy individual coming in for a heavy landing.

Great shot - need to experiment with my camera for some close up shots

Lovely
Some of mine are coming in similarly. The pictures are in my minds eye only though

That's some load she's carrying! I assume she has an equal amount on the other side or she'd be flying sideways lol

A very busy bee indeed

Congrats on the excellent photo. Details of camera & exposure etc would be interesting. Definitely one for calendars & photo competitions.

The pollen baskets shot was taken @ 1/3200 on f2.8 / ISO 1000 using a Canon EOS 7D & an EF100mm FFL with Macro 1:1 facility. Some of us are comparing notes on the most effective / reliable macro method (see photography section for thread). Still learning the technique. The subject capture is OK but the shot quality is poor because I pushed ISO too far (grainy). The following shot (taken same session) was @ 1/4000 on f3.5 ISO 640 and is much better - but then the subject/composition is not as good. Just shows that good natural lighting is more important than the gear or the the photographer ...

Great shot,
Disagree with your 'greedy individual' interpretation though , this is the type of bee we would all wish to have , a real worker!
