Makes me smile! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the help! It was a 12mp camera. My newer camera (D750) is 24mp... but I'll probably never see this bee and flower again. That was 10 years ago.
I took this photo of a mason bee on our oleander plant about 10 years ago. I was using an older camera (Nikon D300) at the time. I've been told by a stock photography site that the main subject is not in focus and it was rejected. I used an f stop of around f/5.6, and because of the narrow depth of field and the angle I took the shot, the bud in the "foreground" is in sharp focus. But it appears to me the bee is also within that same plane (at least part of it is). I'm concerned that my eyesight is getting worse and/or my lens doesn't focus properly. I believe it was auto-focused. Has anyone else had any similar issues and do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
