The Flowers and the Bees

I spent a bit of time outside this morning learning more about how my camera works, trying to do closeups of flowers and bees. Playing with the f-stops and exposures. - I have much to learn! My DSLR has so many buttons and modes and settings, it's a challenge!

I think this was my best attempt at getting the bee in focus and letting the rest of the picture be soft.

 

Bees don't hold still as long as I'd like!

Queen Anne's Lace

Ran this one through a couple filters to B/W everything but the center and then blurr the pedals a bit.
