Super shot.

Brilliant photo. I can almost touch him, and smell the scent!

Thanks ladies! There's a story to this fellow...he reminded me of my sons...whenever I would wake them in the morning, they would wave me away...not yet, Mom...I'm still tired!...when I used the macro to get this shot it took me a few seconds with the camera at pretty close proximity to get it focused correctly...and the bee lifted his furry looking leg and waved me away..."not yet, Mom...I'm still tired!" lol....

A lovely close up Lori and a very lovely story.

Hello Camillia...and thankyou.

I do like the story! Sometimes macro works, other times I have to use the zoom!

I'm slowly becoming accustomed to this camera, Sticki. I'm still wondering how I can improve the focus on my zoom shots...enjoying the macro now. Used to put it on auto...and just click away...now I realize I have to do more reading of the manual and do a few practice shots...so I can do adjustments and select functions on-the-run. I'm sure my results will improve with time and practice. The #^%$&*(^^%% thing still goes thro batteries like crazy.

oh i had one like that ~ it drove me mad. i gave up in the end and got a new one ~ it was the batteries i couldnt cope with. this camera has a much better system ~ you just charge the battery up ~ if i take loads of photos i would need to charge it every 2 or 3 days??
but as for the zoom ~ i cant do any focusing with that on. just got mine back from the repairers.
