I just received a present! A 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor Lens. The bees will have no peace for a while! It seems to work jut fine on my old obsolete D80. Click as usual to enlarge.
While waiting, I played with my old manual 55mm micro-nikkor.
I got the email an hour ago that it was in the box at the gate. The UPS guy is to lazy to drive to the house from the gate, or possibly afraid of friendly cows. Just then the rain stopped & Theresa got this next shot with the point & shoot Canon.
An omen?
The new lens is incredibly sharp judging from shots I've been taking of everything from the carpet to the dust on my keyboard. Maybe there will be a sun break tomorrow & the bees will be back out.
Apple Blossoms!!!
ReplyDeleteLots of them and wild flowers too! Rain this weekend and 32* last night, but next week is supposed to be sunny and one day in the 80's. Spring is here..
DeleteVery nice and sharp photos. I am usually satisfied with my little point and shoot digitals but a good lens does make a noticeable difference. I came across this interesting "Bee lady" on youtube . http://saramapellibeequeen.com/
ReplyDeleteWatch Queen of the Sun. Netflix has it, and it was on PBS a while back. The "bee lady" was feature in the opening shot.
DeleteObsolete works. And does little to support the two percenters
ReplyDeleteNice. Notice it's cool in your neck of the woods...ninety here.
ReplyDeleteAnd no doubt very humid as always.
DeleteRaining now for the next couple of days & then I'll be able to try out the new lens on the bees and the flowers coming out everywhere.
