The Pollonator


This bee is hungry! The fact that I took this picture is amazing because bees are the one thing that I am seriously scared of! I will scream like an idiot until someone gets it away from me. Very embarrassing considering my age:) I didn't have time for many pictures today but I wanted to at least try out my new lens, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II. It is suppose to be good for close-ups of nature. The manual focus didn't work that good, and you have to play around with auto focus a bit being sure you have the right subject in focus otherwise it will do the opposite an blur what you want focused! But once I got the hang of it I think it took some great pictures, very sharp and good details. You can actually see the pollen on the bee. I am going downtown Pittsburgh tomorrow so hopefully I will get some great photos to share with you!
