Hmm, I think you need to do some focus stacking to get a deeper depth of field. they are nice close ups but very soft at the moment.

Nice Tinder Fungus. Here is an attempt I made

I felt left out of the bee photos. I was surprised to see some pollen in the air when I pulled this up on my computer!

One of the first shots with my new Sigma 120-400mm lens. The rare and endangered long necked pink finch.
Not to worry they are making a come back in the urban environment. Highly adaptable creatures.

Nice!! Have you tried focus stacking yet? To me this image seems to call out for that. Just my two cents.
Another bird from Sunday's drive. Comments always appreciated.

It's a great spot Nelson - glad I had the chance to get there.
In contrast...

Beautiful.
Ours don't even have flowers yet. You're so fortunate to live in a tropical country.

The Barge Brandram by Hugh Russell, on Flickr
BRANDRAM was built as a motor barge in 1915 by the Sunderland Shipbuilding Co. and is a vessel of iron plate construction powered by two Gardner diesel engines, model 6LW port engine and model 6L3 starboard engine.
As X67, the vessel was used as a landing craft during World War I and as C7 was requisitioned by the government during World War II.
In the intervening years between the wars the vessel was used variously as an oil barge, a sand barge and a general cargo barge.
She has been owned by her current owner since 1968 and worked as a general cargo carrier until 1981.
BRANDRAM is currently undergoing restoration at Stoke on the River Medway.

squinty?
Looks more like an arc.
An arc over the Clyde.

It is affectionately known as the Squinty Bridge locally. "Squinty" being Weegie vernacular for not straight... and I knock this one off vertical to get the criss cross of the cables.... hence squinty picture
No need to run away... but very good spot!

Actually , I didn't know about the place until you posted your pictures ..... Great location to waste an afternoon . Never got into the mine , though .
No, I've never tried that. Do you need to use a tripod? I handhold all my stuff, plus the bee was moving around in circles non stop, so I would never have had the same image twice. I'll have to look it up and see how best to do it, though. I typically shoot with a shallow DOF so it hasn't occurred to me to try the opposite.

yes, focus stacking does require a tripod, it's almost impossible to control distance handheld when you are working with the shallow depth of fields in macro photography.

Saw my first red-necked pharalope this year. So colourful... so tiny!
Saturday in the park. Panasonic GX85 and 12-35 f2.8.
I tried focus stacking today! Probably went a little overboard because I'm not particularly good at remembering exactly where I focused each time. This is a composite of 18 images at f/9. Likely could have gotten away with fewer layers, but since it was a simple image it didn't take PS too long to put it all together for me. Then some cropping and blurring of the stem to make it a more gradual fade. The combined flowerhead (it's an armeria/sea thrift for you flower people) is smaller than my fingernail.
Thanks for the challenge, @georgeinnj!!
