The bees were busy on the deck this evening. I think they were trying to beat the rain....

Oh Ya this fly wanted to get into the act.

Both Bees and fly are great. Good capture.

Alan, these look nice especially the first two. Have you ever considered trying some close ups? LOL

Even the rain can effect the spiders.

Thanks Pat. I shoot at 4 seconds at an ISO of 100. I hand hold and most of the time you are just getting trails so there is little blur from movement. Some of them last too long and so you can get a little movement from those. Most of the time the super white flashes tend to wash out too much. I hit the shutter about a second after I hear the noise of the canon firing the shell. Many old tricks from my 35 mm days. Of course about 50% end up in the recycle bin.

My Grandson looking at his picture that is hanging in the PA Railroad Museum. Not at great place to take a picture as the walls and ceiling are white and the lighting is harsh. His mom took this photo last year (with a Nikon) and although it did not take First it is the first photo you see when you enter the hall.
