Bee-atific
On a different note...

So this weekend, I had someone decide that since he was older than I am, I needed to be schooled in how to shoot macro. He explained to me in great detail how I should be photographing insects. "I'm sure that works" I smiled, "but it's not the way I do it and my method suits me." He kept insisting his way was the right way. After another round of condescending instruction, I sighed, pulled out my phone and pulled up "Wannabee" and this shot. "I think I do ok on the insect shots", I tell him as I show him the pictures. He looked at me, and then back to the pictures again "You're good." he says and then changes the subject to why I should get a 135 lens for my Leica(which I also ignored since I don't use my Leica for the long work, just the Nikon).

Trying to tell me that I don't know what I'm doing because I'm doing it differently is silly if you've never seen my output. ::shaking head::

I don't know... the bee looks fuzzy in your photo.

Thanks! It's an oldie but goodie.

And when the picture is *too* fuzzy, you make it black and white, call it art and you're good to go.::g::
