Bee Ball in my plum tree


After seeing the bees swarm today I found where they were setting up hive. Here is the Beeball after dark and a long day of them swarming around the house. (ISO-800, f5.6, 200mm & 2x)


Independence Alley

I have been looking around all day and found this cool alley to shoot. The only thing missing was a human or a dog. That would have made the difference in the shot. 1/60sec f3.5 18mm
