Thanks for your comments on yesterdays upload,

today a small break from my finland trip as I yesterday had some opportunities to test my Alfa 700 during a macro shooting session in our garden,some bees were busy feeding on a flower and even did not notice (or were bothered) by me,anyway I tried to shoot a series handheld and using autofocus (something I did not manage with my slower A100),anyway with the faster A700 I managed to get some descent results,I used Fillflash of my sigma 500 flash (manual settings),hope you like it and thanks for watching.

Superb catch of the bee Paul - it is sharp with excellent focus and details. Yes, I like it - very mush. . .
You must be really thrilled with this new camera.
BRAVO!

Hej Paul,
Superb macro of this Bee seeking nectar from the pretty red flower. Great sharpness and a fine smooth background in this beautiful composition.
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Hi Paul,
the details of this shot are great. You can see all the little hairs of the bee.
Composition is very good, too.
Well done!
