My wife (bless her heart :-D ), decided last Sunday she wanted to get two more pots for the garden, so to make the trip less boring I decided to drag my camera along, and I am pleased I did.
I've always found bees very difficult to photograph especially with many flowers around, because they just keeps zipping between flowers the whole time. The Tamron has good close up abilities and the photos below were shot without any macro filters attached. I should also point the out optical stabilization of the lens helped a lot due to my frequent moving and refocusing trying to catch the bee on the Echinacea during a "quiet" time.
The images where taken in natural but diffused light due to overhead semi-transparent roofing. I just love the way the bee seems to hug the flower in the first pic. Click to enlarge.
