Still, you have to work with what you've got, time and content, wise so thisis what you get to enjoy (hopefully)

These were all shot waiting for the bee to return so are a little noisy as I didn't want to fiddle with camera settings and miss the main attraction.

c&c welcomed as always.

I'm off to scotland next week so expect photo's of tics and midges mostly ;)

2 for me. 3 could have been great if it had a bit more dof, or you had focused back a bit, so that the entire beetle was in focus, but the leaf not.

Wow:thumbs:

Cheers guys and gals.

I still haven't quite figured the DoF thing field in relation to macro. I tend to forget that it gets narrower the closer you get. I'm not manual focusing at the moment as I don't trust my dodgy myopia and the dioptre adjustment on the d200. I have tried but they all seem to come out very OoF. May have to invest in a dioptre correction lens....

How's your vision sir?

-3!

Ah, you'll be needing the special 'rhinosquintyeye' adjustment lens then sir!
