Still practicing with that macro lens. All shots are hand-held and mix of manual and auto.

Bees that give milk? I'm confused. There are bees that give milk? Please elaborate. You have piqued my interest.

Thanks Awais. Those cosmos flowers are just beautiful and are giving me all sorts of chances to capture butterflies and bees.

I liked this one most.



It looks to me like you are just missing the focus or maybe because you are handholding you are getting some blur.

Shallow depth of field is tricky sometimes. I'm not a macro shooter...so I'm sure someone that is can give a better feedback.

It's a combination of hand-held motion blur, shallow depth of field, low lighting, fast shutter speed and to get a better depth of field I try to keep my aperture reasonable while still allowing enough light in. It's tough to say the least especially since I do not have a nice flash or any external lighting other than the sun.

I apologize for taking so long to get back to you on this--

I'm going to leave the boo bees alone. Nice set but you really should start using a tripod for your macro shots. The shots should come out much sharper.
