    So if it’s not actually hovering, but is actively ‘sucking’, for lack of a better word, is that ok? I think I remember reading something to the effect that if it wasn’t going to be in the same place in a second, that would work?

    Well, it isn’t standing on its proboscis, so it would work for me.

    Cool, thanks! I almost got a good shot of a couple of urban duckies taking off out of our pool, but it has a bit too much blur I think. So I’m down to the bees I gues.

    I guess it might depend on whether the bee is sitting/at rest on the flower while getting nectar, woudln’t it? Or are they active enough even while sitting that it’s close enough?

    Thanks 😀

    I spent two days and rough 1000 odd photos and I got 1 to turn exactly as I wanted it (my other plan was the ball hitting the net but I could only get close on that one)

    It just occurred to me that with this being the 200th contest, this is my 150th. That’s a kinda crazy thought. I think sleeping has more contests, though.

    It’s crazy early, but here go my 3 stars so far:

    U-Man’s drain, corsec67’s helicopter, and soosh’s “Calvin”

    so many other awesome and diverse shots. There will be lots of votes-a-flyin’ this week!

    No shame..your shots are great.

    I am so mad I forgot about these shots. They were not in my normal photo folder so I didn’t think of them.

    My wife reminded me of them when I told her what the theme was AFTER I posted my shots.

    Oh well…B sides I guess or….

    / runs off to “Themes”

    Yeah, that’s what I was wondering, because they’re still ‘active’, but not really moving that we can see. I’ve got a couple where you can see the probiscus down in the flower.

    I have a “deleted: broken image” on my 2009-03-04 08:44:37 PM post. Can I get you to fix it for me?
