Bees in January

Wish I'd had my tripod with me -- this image would have been sharper.
I was on my way to a business breakfast and paused to snap this shot
just outside the restaurant. Rough day today -- temperatures in the mid 70s.

You didn't need a tri-pod. This looks great to me.

Fantastic shot. I don't think a tripod would have helped. It looks very sharp to me and the bees would have had to stay still, anyway.

Life must be tough in a CA winter :>) Beautiful bee image !!
Sheila09-Jan-2007 10:15
I don't think it would have been much sharper with a tripod, certainly more difficult to catch bees with one :-)

As if this image is fuzzy or out of focus.. You kill me, Gary! GMV even if your excellence stings ~

Super detail and sharpness! I think I would have preferred it with the focus on the bee on top though.

Sharper? Sharper? How much sharper could you get this without giving pbase a paper cut? I hate to sound like Robin, but this is bee u t full
Terri Steele09-Jan-2007 04:36
You got this handheld??? I hate you!! (well not really) But, it is so sharp and clear I am really jealous. Excellent photo. vote.
