BEE BOMBED

Out taking pics of bees, butterflies, etc..., the other day. Just got in position to fire off a short burst to get the bee on the flower. Just as I pressed the shutter a bee came in from the upper left and bombed the bee on the flower, kicking it off. Could not have planned it better. These are all straight out of the camera - no PP at all.

While you can enlarge the images for individual viewing, they are intended to be viewed by scrolling from top to bottom to capture the action sequence. The last two images are my personal favorites.

Shot with Olympus EM-1 II, 40-150 f/2.8 with 1.4 teleconverter, f/4.5 and 1/4,000, from about 2 feet away.

Enjoy.

Very nicely love the sequence. I see they have bullies even in the bee world.
