This is really bugging me.
Getting NAS for the right gear and I do not have money for it.

Sell the prime?

 

[Lawrence]

Sell the prime?

[Jonathan]

Me a present.

I could use a better zoom. . .

 

[Jonathan]

The Fly

The 2nd pic has the focus pane on the closest parts of the fly, the first pic has the focus pane a bit further in.
Which one do you prefer ?

 

[Scott Murray]

I think I prefer the 2nd one.

 

[Jonathan]

Ditto

 

[Ironwood]

I think I prefer the 2nd one.

Ditto

Yes, thats my preference as well. The first one loses a lot of detail on the eye, not really as noticeable in these small pics, but full size it becomes apparent.

 

[Scott Murray]

Not much about today as its been raining, so here is a fly.

 

[wev]

A bee that fell out of one of my plants, waterlogged and having a tough time getting his legs. He finally crawled to a safe spot to dry off.

 

[Ironwood]

'ol bright eyes...

 

[wev]

I was showing some students the insides of an aristilochia gigantea flower today and found a gnat who was having trouble making it back out

 

[wev]

another view

 

[Ironwood]

Black and White Beetle.

 

[wev]

Oh, this is your salvia?

I'll be moving on then
