Where The Bee (Fly) Sucks...
I think we are all going a bit batty :D Grown men bearing various Pentax hardware scrabbling around on their hands and knees photographing Beeflies and other things. Worse still, I cant get up again without help :oops: Here's my effort: K3, Sigma 105, 1/1600 sec. at f7.1. Hand-held, manual focus....

Where The Bee (Fly) Sucks...
cbrog - Excellent shot, particularly with a 105mm. Did you manage to get close, or is it a big crop? MHOL190246 - Thanks. That's useful. And while we're on the subject of bee flies... A complementary pair - 1. Dotted bee fly and shadow; and 2. Shadow and dotted bee fly. OK, I'll admit it...

Those pesky hover drone bee things - nailed it !
Lockdown has given us a lot of time to play so I wasted (?) an entire afternoon chasing bees of one sort or another, including those hovering beasts that zip out of frame before you get chance to focus on them. Starting with the worst picture, they are amazingly streamlined and built for high s...

Those pesky hover drone bee things - nailed it !
You did well, sir. :D It looks like the same type of thing I was chasing a few days ago. Agree about them turning their back on you. A totally camera shy species! Steve

Looks like they have been saved from extinction so hopefully we may see some affordable Norton bikes back on the uk roads

Back Garden Lock Down
Yes we are all limited with our subjects these days, but with a little imagination it could end up making us all better photographers for it.

The Results of Lockdown
The original had a clarity about it that this is missing. I am not an expert on lighting these kind of shots which is why I suggested experimentation :D if you will pardon the pun :roll: :idea: :idea: I think I know what's changed. The original was contre-jour, so few reflections. The black backgrou...

Higher Hills walk
Thanks for the comments - this nasty virus thing has certainly encouraged us to take our exercise and health more seriously, as you can see I live within easy walking distance of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty but last year I probably ventured up them less than half a dozen tim...

Isle Of Skye Elgol & The Hairy Loch Fab 2020
Thank you to everyone that took time to comment on my images and checked out the video. The feedback has been fatastic! I'm looking forward like most of us i'm sure to getting back out with the camera feeling less restricted!

Isle Of Skye Elgol & The Hairy Loch Fab 2020
There's a thread on here that I made where I showed the bellows coming out and how I modded mine. My Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 is relegated to back up camera bag and the Pentax DA 60-250mm is now in the bag permanently for use on the K1.

Hoverflies
Wow, what a tricky subject, manual focus with 645 and 120mm macro with a decent crop as well I think with some more practise I can improve on these,

Hoverflies
Manual focus is definitely the way to go. Most of us have been content with conventional shots but with that monster camera he had to go aerobatic !

Hoverflies
This is my best effort out of about 40 shots with a 645D, 6x7 Extension Tube & 6x7 135/4 Macro (cropped as it wouldn't behave). The 6x7 135 macro has a very long throw focussing ring, making quick focus changes almost impossible:
