Now it really feels like Spring has sprung – the bees are back. I’m improving on capturing them with the larger lens (55-200mm zoom). This morning, I decided one does not need to have everything in sharp focus to capture Nature’s quickening.

I’m itching to photograph more small things.

Thanks for looking.

I opened up my Nikon D3000 for Dummies book again this morning. I decided to reset all the shooting and set up options and start over (I messed about with the camera a few days ago). So, still on auto for these photos of the bee in the abelia bush this morning.

The book advises me that learning to use the camera just from the Guide mode will make it harder for me to learn the other modes, later. Might take a decade, but I’ll get there!  I can’t wait to get my new lens and go back to the lake and get some great shots of the crested grebe. I suppose I’ll get a macro lens, too, one day.

Thanks for looking.   🙂
