Sunning Bumblebee || Canon40D/EF100mm Macro | 1/400s | f5.6 | ISO100 | Handheld

This is another one from my trip to New Jersey. Our final day we visited the Frelinghuysen Arboretum and the sun was out in full force. I did manage to get a few shots I was pleased with, this was one of them.  This bumblebee really was huge (about the size of a quarter), I followed him for a while, then had to wait for the flower to stop moving (from his landing).

    Great shot Ryan! Looks like a calendar picture…for maybe May or June.

    I appreciated your explanation of what was occurring when you took the picture. It’s amazing to think of that bumblebee shaking that flower and you needing to wait until it stilled! Good job! :)

    I love the detail in this photo… the fuzz on that bee looks so soft!
