Default Hoverfly & Honeybee

Thought I'll add a something to this thread. Although not a gnat - the hoverfly and the honeybee were my 2 first flying insects I managed to do with the Canon 400D.

I haven't tried with flash yet but luckily these guys hang around in quite bright light which helps. So sitting flat on the grass with the 70-300mm Sigma on macro I hammered away. These pics are the results of about 300-400 shots - determined to get at least one good shot of them in flight.

Comments and crit welcome.

Cheers

Marcell
