WOW!!! The best bee shot ever!!!! #9577275Michael Umbreit August 02, 2011
Thanks so much! This shot was a little dark right out of the camera. It was a good thing I was shooting in the RAW format. It is a little tricky since I am shooting with both the camera and flash in manual mode. Sometimes my first guess on the settings isn't right and I lose a few shots that way. :-) Mike #9577357Patti Coblentz August 07, 2011
