Hi all,

Today I used my good old D50 to see if there is something wrong with it as I saw pictures shot by Arjun and Vinay with the same camera having some contrast problems! I did reset the camera and made some settings like color profile, white balance etc and started shooting some pics! I got the same quality pictures as I used to get earlier with some punch!

F stop is 5.6 as i was trying to shoot some flight shots!! other wise with this lens i prefer f8 to f11

Hello Goutham,

You have made a fine close-up of the bee. You have chosen a well adapted DOF so that thewhole insect and central part of the flower are in focus. The image is very sharp showing very good details of both insect and flower.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hallo Goutham
This image is sharp and reflect great detail and focus, and the colourful bee is no exception. I think this image deserves each smiley awarded. You have captured the bee with fine and great clarity. The markings and patterns on the body is so beautiful and impressive, and I like the shine on the body. The red flower it is sitting on is bright and sunny and the combination of colours of the bee and the flower is super. Your framework is splendidly done and your display is excellently handled. Thanks for sharing, and have an enjoyable day.
Best regards
Anna
