Using Memmy, I see no pic. Am I doing something wrong?

Same. I’ve tried three different ways of using Lemmy and can’t see anything

Often when I’m out with Bowie (the dog) I try to get a shot of insects, I’ve had a lot of time to tweak camera settings and experiment. But when it comes to catching focus I usually just leave it to the auto focus gods and hope for the best, I think l deleted 100 shots to get this one.

Yeah I probably have a success rate close to 1000 - 1 for shots like this. The methodology is ‘spray and pray’ imo. Fortunately all digital photos cost is disk space

I’m a bit surprised. They love buzzing around our lavender. They also love the mint and California poppies that we have. I have seen a couple take naps in the California poppies.

Oh yeah the lavender field was flooded with honey and bumble bees. So many lol but they were very active and didn’t sit long. Plus I was just using an iPhone lol

Lovely shot! I really like the colour composition, the colour scheme also kind of reminds me of old film

I’ve been posting a photo a day to Instagram for years. It’s an unhealthy habit, but it’s led me to be a little adventurous with color. Anyway glad it worked out this time.
