The first shot of the Bee was taken with the Sigma 105 mm Macro lens with the FujiS5Pro hand held I had just bought the lens and had to try it out.
Picture two was put up as the site is called but my hog is not that ugly is it ?
Shot three was taken in Feb 2012 when I took a small group to Lake Nakuru in Kenya it was around 06:00 a good time for both light and animals feeding.

I found this Bee just waiting for a picture it was drunk on pollen and stayed still for awhile

Thanks for your comment to my shots.Miss are you a Mountain Mama from West Virginia. It matters not the camera you have what is important is that one uses it like it's a part of you. When I get some new equipment I close my eyes to get familiar with the places the controls are to go to them still looking at my subject. Now to be able to to see inside the frame and find another shot with in it as the example of the Collard Dove's will show you. The next Barn Owl shot took hours of waiting. I will also add a few simple shots taken on a second/hand compact £40 Fuji AV130 proving its training the eyes to see. Lastly you take pictures for your pleasure and if you like it job done

Bullet 1971 Thanks for your comment: here are some more taken in the Amboseli Park from there almost on the Equator you can see the highest mountain in Africa Mount Kilimanjaro to see the snow is rare as 75% of the time it's covered in clouds.

Taken locally I live in a very pretty and famous part of England more so there is a good restaurant in Godmanchester the town was granted a Royal Charter by the King in 1215 to hold a weekly market and now its a good place for relaxation.
