Essential Pollinator

Theme this week is to fill the frame.

I'm struggling with focusing with our new 18-270mm lens. I've tried altering the viewfinder focus, the angle I look through my glasses and using auto-focus. Nicely surprised that on the big screen most of my close-up shots are in focus.

[Sally Ings]

Wonderful details

[Anne]

I really struggle with my new lens to Jackie, its a 18-200mm and sometimes it is great and other times I cannot seem to get anything in focus!! Loving this shot of yours with the little photo-bomber

[moni kozi]

You nailed it, didn't you? To me this looks spot on.

[Joan Robillard]

Nice cPTURE

[Lin]

Awesome

[Esther Rosenberg]

Beautiful shot, like the full screen

[John Durham]

Love the focus on the bee. I struggle with 70-300, but much prefer it for many close-ups. My back thanks me.

[Susan Wakely]

Soooo lovely.

[Mags]

Cool shot! Love the bloom.

[Annie-Sue]

love that lemony seed head!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

oh very nice!

[Jacqueline]

Beautiful!

[katy]

This one looks to be fabulously in focus! Beautiful clarity to the shot and a wonderful response to the challenge of filling the frame!

[wendy frost]

Great shot filling the frame and with the bee and details.

[Carole Sandford]

Looks pretty sharp to me! Lovely shot!

wonderful capture and composition

[LManning (Laura)]

Love this composition and it’s perfectly focused.

[Kathy]

Very sharp details of both the center of the flower and the insect.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Awesome POV and full screen shot

[Valerie Chesney]

Wonderful full frame shot + the busy bee.

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

Just lovely symmetry and the bee contrasts it wonderfully. I find I have to weave back and forth with my longer lenses (I may look a little drunk) to get into that shallow focus plane when doing close ups.

[Diana]

This is stunning Jackie!

[Kathy A]

Lovely shot, nice detail!

[haskar]

Great close up.

[Merrelyn]

Nice close up.

[Monica]
