Morning All.

Whilst it may be cool in some parts of the country Spring is definitely on its' way in Qld. Went to a Meeting and the photo taking before the meeting was the most interesting part.The trouble with bees is the keep on moving about.

I am still impressed by my new 17-70. :mrgreen:

Long Telephoto lens - now if I save my Pennies I will someday get a telephoto that is long and big. Meanwhile I live with high ISO and long exposures.

Looks like you have been out enjoying yourself taking some nice photos along the way. I showed the boys a wild bee hive I knew about in a tree out at Cunnamulla last week and was going to take a few photos but the bees objected and we had to make a run for it - thankfully I only got one sting - they didn't mind last time. :lol:

It was probably the noise. You could have smoked them first.

I work very hard when near Bees to move slowly and quietly. Remember to ignore the buzzing sound. Sometimes it can just as much fun "Hunting with a Camera".

We would have smoked them, Grahame, but I ran out of Tally Ho papers before Jeff revealed them! :wink:
Seems like making a run for it from wild beasts was the in thing for you last week, Jeff! :P :D
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

Yeah Grahame that could have been it but we took photos of the hive last time and got close to do so without any problems but there wasn't a hope this time. :shock: :lol:
