[Leica] IMG: Working on Technique

Limited for the moment with the gear at hand, an Oly E-510 with the ZD 
50-200 lens at 200 on a Leica-R shoulder stock, I decided to try to 
improve my technique.  I locked the shutter speed at 1/1000 to cut down 
on movement and force the aperture wide open. I then raised the ISO to 
400 to keep the exposure within range, knowing I could lose some 
sharpness.  Then I went looking for victims.

I found this young bee giving me the eye from one of my neighbors' nice 
orange flowers.

Then this Common Buckeye showed up.

Both shot at ISO 400, 1/1000 at f/3.5.

I'm pleased with the results.
