Description
Carpenter Bee:
Went to a local marsh preserve last weekend. On my way out spotted this fella hovering around some plants. The sun was going down and I had to use my cheap Zoom lens for the shots.
Unfortunately, to get a good shutter speed I had to go to 800 ISO. Which made a lot of noise on these shots. I did all I could to clean it up.
Hope to head back there and see him again with a bit more light to get some cleaner shots.
An interesting note, as I watched this bee for about 20 mins. I began to notice it had a pattern it would fly and hover in.
Usually coming back to the same spot to hover over and over. Making focusing a bit easier since I was using manual focus.
So cute.
Thanks for looking.
