  1 decent frame out of about 50, the joys of shooting handheld in manual on both camera and flash.

  A couple of bee shots. First a Bumblebee with his apparatus showing. Unfortunately on a yellow Helenium flower which makes exposure tricky.
  
  
  
  
  And a honey-bee on a nice orange flower.

  Thanks @Sheps. Yes I'm still playing with the new gear. I don't really think the 'L' macro is any sharper than the standard one but the IS gives you more confidence hand-held. Like you though, I'm still binning loads of shots in search of one good one.
