An impromptu visit to the backyard with the macro to capture some blossoms turned into a chance to grab an ant and a bee with a green face! The challenge of macro with very exacting tolerances made it difficult to grab fully satisfying images. The learning curve is slow but enjoyable. The world that lay right in front of us every day is remarkable if taking the time to explore it.
The use of the tripod is essential for macro work. I'm paying the price for having gone out with only a monopod for these images. Some a sharp - some are not. On we learn.
