I was just leaving the house when I spotted the dragonfly that I had been after for days finally sitting still on a rosebud.
Unfortunately I did not have time to grab my DSLR – fortunately I had the G9 ready in a pocket and managed to squeeze off a few shots before I had to run. I am rather pleased with the depth-of-field (or lack thereof) from such a small sensor.
This summer, I was fascinated by some yellow flowers in the garden that seemed to hold an almost magical attraction to bees.
I took this picture using an extension tube and a tripod. The problem with this setup was that the area in which the image was sharp was about 3-4 mm in depth and there was a breeze blowing. The swaying of the flower made it go in and out of focus, so I lost quite a number of interesting pictures due to lack of sharpness.
Does anyone have an idea what the name of the flower is?
