FLY BEES

Had a short play around in the garden this afternoon, with the 50D and the macro setup. This is the first time I've used the camera in this mode, and although I need to do some adjustment to the initial settings I'm fairly pleased with the results.
Conditions were not good as there was a strong breeze and everything was moving around quite a bit, and could not get a decent view point and frame the insects in a more pleasing position,  still that's what makes photography so interesting.
