You: You haven't spent your Sunday chasing bees round the garden with your camera then drawing on the photos have you?

Me: What?! That sounds like a foolish way to waste an afternoon!

Also me: Yes, yes I have.

For the avoidance of doubt, I have NO REGRETS.

It is childish and stupid and silly and every time I look at that chomping bee I laugh.

Also, when I show The Teenager I will get the biggest eye roll you can imagine, and that will be even funnier.

@eclectech my nine year old loves it enough to interrupt Nintendo time to laugh at it. I love that he loved it. And let’s be honest, I thought it was pretty funny too πŸ™‚

@casmael That was the best of the day (lots of others of blurry bees, or empty flowers) but there are some further back in my timeline, and 🀞 there will be more.
Show threadJoeJun 19, 2023
@eclectech it is a very blurry experience photographing bees isn’t it. What camera are you using?
Show threadeclectechJun 19, 2023
@casmael It is indeed. The best method I've found is when we have a good patch of flowers and I can set up on a tripod and wait for them to come into frame. Yesterday was literally me dotting about the garden chasing them like a loon! I''m using a Canon EOS 70D although have occasionally had a lucky capture on my phone.
Show threadJoeJun 19, 2023
@eclectech amazing that sounds like a very zen experience. My preferred technique is to set an appropriate manual focus distance and run around after them in the style of the benny hill intro. I was actually inspired by your post to go out to the park this morning and have a go at some bee photos. First time in a good long while tbh! Xx

@casmael Hah - splendid mental image there. I fear I was more in the Benny Hill camp yesterday too πŸ˜† Hope the hunt this morning went well.

Love the bee! ❀️

Have you seen the French series called Minuscule? Lots of animated insects doing things in a similar style.
