[Leica] IMG: Bee on Cone Flower

[Sonny Carter]

Nice shot!

I noticed you referred to macro settings, and I thought I’d tell you a not
so secret thing about my flowers.  I rarely use macro lenses or settings
for anything.  I usually use a 40 or 75mm for most of my shots, and I just
shoot from a distance to blur the bkgd.

I even have to wonderful Sony Macro G 90mm and use it as a tele!

Regards,
Sonny
