Great shots and love the Flickr stream.

Can I ask if these were all hand held without flash? How did you get such a high shutter speed at relatively large apertures? Unless it was VERY bright (I'm in Australia, doesn't get much brighter than here and I'm finding the 60mm f2.8 a steep learning curve, was attempting bees today). Were these the best of a lot of pics? Do you shoot burst mode?

Cheers

Sorry edit to above - I meant relatively small apertures

Hello Pepyn

Ah ok, no worries. Well it must be the ISO 800 then... no other "tricks".

Sunlight, ISO 800 (sometimes I go for 1600)... that's it
