Not Sure How I Did This...

...but somehow I got an incredibly small area of focus in this. What went wrong?

My guess is motion blur. 1/200 can be too slow for bees.

How did you see the exif?

And this one at 1/800 Brent? Still too slow?

That one is not enough dof.

Yeah, #2 is DoF, though the rear wing veins look to be in focus on the first one. AF or manual focus and what aperture?

 

[Dean_Gretsch]

Second was 1/800 sec. f/4.5 34mm Auto and first was 1/200 sec. f/16 35mm Auto.

f/4.5 with that magnification got you - remember that higher magnification decreases the DoF. I guess the first one is movement. Maybe practice on a stack of coins.

Thank you very much! I have been looking for a reason for some numismatic pics!

There's add-ons for many browsers that allow you to view the exif.

I can see it if I just mouse over the photo. Is that an add on?

I think that's a function of the forum software that works with some browsers.

Hmmm...apparently Google Chrome isn't one.

I've tried two EXIF viewers on Chrome and neither one will work here. I might have to go back to Firefox, just because.

I use chrome and use the 'send to Exif Viewer' add-on. Works great. Won't work with flickr bbcode images, well it will work but the exif has been replaced.
