So, you have a telephoto lens attached to your camera and a little critter poses for you. First you curse your luck as the motive calls for a macro lens, then try to take a snap anyway while forgetting the minimal focussing distance at 300 mm is almost 1,5 metres (5 feet?). What you get is a blurry target and , if you're lucky, something in the pic looks somewhat in focus. You sigh and delete... or, better, save it for Thom's weekly meme.

BWAHAHA Atta girl. There are so many damn things you have to worry about when taking a photo. pffft. As in Quilly's I would be saying....Atta Boy ya done did good with this photo LOL :) Thanks for playing. Much appreciated :)
Ah well, if it were completely in focus and up close, you'd see the little tongue sticking out as the bug went "Nyah, nyah, nyah!"
The tree trunk came out fine lol
Can I say, "Been there, done that" even if it has only been just this week? Sigh. I don't know what my focusing distances are. What do I Google to find onfo I might understand?
I think it's a pretty good shot—considering.
thom - isn't that where the fun is? to trick the camera into doing what you want it to do? true, it fails more often than succeeds but... ;)
southlakesmom - you mean, like in that hoverfly from a few days back? ;)
lady - almost ;)
quilly - sure, we all have. the distances are usually on the lens declaration - lenses do come with a manual where you are?
roan - you are very kind, but i know it could (and should) have been done better :)
Mine fail more than not :( LOL
Looks kind of artistic, though. I like it. Thanks for adding some tips on macro shots, too. I really learn a lot from you. Have a wonderful week :)
Great shot! He is enjoying the warm sunshine. Isn't he?
