It Bee Approaching the Dinner Table
As this Bee Approaching the Dinner Table (Hollyhock), I had to anticipate where it was going to Bee.
Photographers notes: Everything is mostly out of focus but the bee. The focal depth at 9 inches (closest focus for this Sony 90mm Macro) from the bee with this lens is perhaps 1/2 inch deep even with a lot of light and high f numbers. Anything in that 1/2 thick plain is sharp, anything else is blurred. Somethings are ultra sharp and others not so much. That is part of the Macro game is figuring out where that zone is and waiting around at very high shutter speeds 9 inches from the “approach” angle to this flower. I was 90 degrees anmd focused on the center of the flower ….Hang out and wait (remember when it was warm? ). Hold that photo-yoga position number 15 for as long as it takes.😄
A few more bee photos will straggle onto my posting schedules still left over from summer and some reposts over the winter to remember those warm days.
