LMAO at you Richard!!! Couch potato style of photography!!! haha! well, you gotta understand something about me...sitting still is verrrrrrrry hard for me to do! i'm like a little bee, always buzzing around! :) Early morning...ok...i can sacrifice some sleep if it means getting my shot. Tripod...haven't tried that yet with bee shots so definitely i should. Kemal was telling me last week he can see my hands shaking while i shoot. I can't stop my hands from shaking. But that's not the reason these photos are lousy. Tripod would help. i just hate using one. But i'll do whatever i have to do to catch these stinkin' bees!!! Thanks for the suggestions, Richard! Still laughing, imagining you shooting, sitting back with your tea, biscuits, and remote!!! yep...i have a remote alright. ok...i'll give your couch potato style of photography a try!!! I'll show the results in here! Thanks for the tips! :) Oh...Jeroen has coached me. i just plain SUCK!!!!
