1108_0129 Biting mosquito
Truthfully, the mosquitoes were not as bad yesterday morning as they have been lately. Mornings tend to be better than evenings; also, it was a little cooler, not uniformly bright and sunny, and somewhat windy. No doubt such conditions affect mosquito populations and activity level. Nevertheless, I was still getting bitten, so I decided to make them pay. I have published a few mosquito images over the years. The rule is "f32 and be there" - f8 won't do; you need the extra depth of field. 105mm macro lens + 1.7x teleconverter + tripod.
