More photos

My camera is a nice and cheap Panasonic, but I am constantly amazed by what it can do.  All I do is stick the camera up close and hit the button! 

The arrival of the sun has produced lots of nice photo opportunities...







And it looks like the sun is with us for the weekend too, so we will be firing up the barbeque, setting up the new tent to make sure it is all there and that we know how to do it, and trimming my dad's hedge.  OK, so I am not so keen on the last one but, hey, that's life isn't it?

Have a great weekend!  More next week!

With today's technology, even the cheap cameras can take some pretty amazing shots. I am still amazed by the pictures I can get on my iPhone.

Very nice close up shots of the flowers, but you should BEE careful for those last few...

Hope you guys have a great weekend and don't eat too much BBQ.

Agg79 - Me and bees are great buddies. Now wasps are another thing...

Well if that's you on just point and shoot, my mind boggles at what more you are hoping to achieve - these are fab shots!

Ah, isn't it great to feel the sun on our bones for a change? I've been potting and planting up all my baskets and tubs this week, round the front of the drive - oops, that reminds me, I need to do some watering..!

I never would have guessed it was a cheap camera.... The pictures are beautiful!
Can you trim your dad's hedge first and get it out of the way? Or are you like me, and would rather put it off til the last possible minute.

Rock Chef said...

Shrinky - yes, don't let you plants die after all that work!

ShadowRun300 - We will do the hedge first, so my dad will be happy and we won't have t looming over us all weekend.

Wow, great photos! Of course, it's not ALL camera. The person sticking the camera up close and hitting the button has to do it at the right time, angle, distance, etc. Are you nice and cheap as well as your Panasonic??

CiCi said...

Wow all you have to do is point and click and you got that great shot of a bee. Nice.

Rock Chef said...

Abby - I like to think I am nice, and yes I am VERY cheap!

CiCi - I guess the main thought was not about not upsetting the bees!

I love these kind of photos - flowers and bees and naturey kind of stuff! These are great!

Rock Chef said...

Terri - thanks! In fact, one of our biologists took copies of the bee photos for use in lectures!
