Action Photos and NatGeo Won't Be Calling Me Anytime Soon

After an extremely windy bike ride, I took the girls out for the usual tennis ball action.  Because it was overcast, I decided to see if bumping the ISO to 400 would make much of a difference in letting a little more light into the photos.  I'm not sure it did, but it didn't hurt them...

 

Later in the afternoon, I took the girls out just before dinner time and noticed that there were a bunch of bumblebees flying around pollinating flowers.  I decided to grab the camera and see if I could get any decent shots.  The short answer is that National Geographic won't be calling me any time soon.  However, this might give me a good opportunity to try out the telephoto lens (that has a macro setting) and see if I can get anything better than I got this time around.  But here are my first attempts at photographing bees.
