Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close)
It seems I'm stuck with this macro thing for now. I find it takes a lot of patience and it's quite something to just get the darn things in focus hand held at that distance. For this bee shot, I kept having problems with the flower moving until I realized that it was my lens that touched the flower when I tried to get close enough for focus on the bee… Enjoy

Don't like the first one, Marcel. Looks like it's been over processed, and not very clear either. Slightly out of focus. Love the second shot, though.

Sorry Jack but I have to disagree with you. The first one looks like a jeweled pendant. I would crop most of the blossoms out and call it done.
The 2nd one is a fly -- where's my swatter.

Ken, Jack was writing about the previous day's shots. The girl with red hair with her bird. I know, I know about this one. It was getting dark and as I was walking with my girlfriend we saw this person with the bird and the bird was just the exact same color as her hair. But, it was too dark and I only had my 18-200. exif says 1/5s at maximum aperture. So either I moved or the girl and the bird moved. I had to use a PS filter to try to disguise the motion in the shot. Didn't work that well.
I sent the girl the pics and she agreed to meet me some other time with better light (and I'll bring the better lenses too) for a shoot. It should turn out better (hopefully).
Thanks for your comments ( I really prefer comments to "likes").

For these 2 particular ones, I was using my 18-200 with extension tube (12 or 20 I'm not so sure). But I had the sun as a light source which gave me a little more DOF than usual.

Hey, that's ok, bud. Wait till you get the bill!
Dag-gummit! Now I owe Jack an apology

My favourite is the second one.....with all the trees and ground foliage. Lots of great colour and texture to this shot. Love it. Nice work, Marcel.
Today's an undergrowth (HDR heavily filtered afterwards) that I saw going to my customer. So you get both for the price of one
Enjoy and feel free to comment.
