The Muffed Target

I sort of promised a muffed photo to the friendly host, so here goes...



An orange ladybird (sic!) on an orange railing. A narrow focus area, as is customary in macro shots, particularly in low light conditions requiring open apperture values. Just as I pressed the shutter, the little bugger started to move forward, its head escaping from focus... yet another failure.

Pffft...a failure. Do you know how many people would kill to get a photo like this...me included. And I ain't saying that just because of our friendship. Oh the joys of being able to take decent pictures. If you say this is muffed, I'll just have to accept that and move on. LOL Thanks for playing. Much appreciated :)

Hmmm I don't know why you are having the link problem. So I linked it for you. :)

I gotta say that I'm with Thom on this. Every shot I saw of you has this certain soul captured in it. Lovely bug! Have a wonderful week :)

Short of using super glue, it is almost impossible to get critters to hold still for these shots!

Wonderful shot! I had to read it first before I even noticed the blurry head on the little fella. You have a great eye!
