[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Tired of lugging the 250mm, I slipped an 11mm extension tube on the 135 this afternoon and walked outside.? There was not a butterfly to be seen, but the Buddleia was covered with large bees.? Handicapped by a lens-to-subject distance of 2-3 ft., I snapped a few bee photos. I also noted what appeared to be tiny balls of white lint floating around.? When I saw one settle on a leaf, I looked closer, and it appeared to have wings.? This puzzled me, so I snapped a few shots, hoping to get something useful.? The total size seemed to be about 2mm.
