    As requested: Little blue flower with an out of focus Kiwot

    sorry about the focus but the little beasties never stay still and the shot required a slow shutter speed.

    Brian,

    Has just enough in focus to give 3-d effect.

    Without the blurred beasty it would be quite a nice floral shot.

    Just curious Brian why you think this shot required a slow shutter speed?

    I was concentrating on the flower in quickly changing light using F/14 to try to get a decent DoF. At 1/30 sec it was a shade dark. The bee was an unexpected bonus. To get the bee to appear stationary would have required a much faster shutter.

    the above is posted with the understanding that my theoretical understanding is minimal.
