I said I would...

That previous shot was reduced by almost 70%. This is just the head region at full size. There is a bit of noise as I had the ISO cranked up to 640 and forgot to turn it down. On the other hand, it allowed me great depth of field on this shot at f/33.

This is at full native resolution, just cropped.

Very cool. Looks like a Canada Darner, Aeshna canadensis.

Swallowtail

Really nice and sharp. Do you have the sharpening turned on in the camera, or do you sharpen it up in Photoshop or something similar?

Bee

Interesting bee with that brown abdomen. Bees can be very difficult to identify to the species--heck even the genus can be tough without the bee in hand and a low-power microscope.

Great shot.

Nice shot, Ty. Isn't that a great lens?

I am in SE AZ getting some great bird shots I will post when I return and get some bandwidth.

Ron, lovely images...I kind of like both, and couldn't really choose which I liked better--but this is a favorite object of mine.

Equipment Question??

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

I haven't used one, but do use the wonderful Nikon 17-35mm lens....a little more verstatile, although pricey.
