High winds mar big pictures of small subjects
Been playing with my brand new 100mm macro lens on a couple of days, but haven’t yet had a perfect photography moment.
Usually the wind is to blame, while the autofocus mechanism of the lens is indeed good, it cannot cope with rapidly swaying flowers and especially insects in them.
The attached shot of a bumblebee is perhaps the finest thus far. The bug itself is nice and sharp, the flowe it is walking on is pretty much in focus as well, and the background nicely blurred by the narrow depth of field.
Tomorrow the lens ought to get a lot more exercise, as it’s time for the irregularly scheduled trip to Korkeasaari.
