Bumble Bee on Coneflower
Three days out of four with more than one photo posted. Don’t you feel privileged? Okay, perhaps not. In any case, here is a third picture for today. In addition to going out for a late lunch of raspberries and photographing a tiny fly, I went into the back yard when I got home and photographed bumble bees. They are going crazy on the gooseneck loosestrife (Lysimachia clethroides) and the purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea). I’m pretty happy with this picture, although I think a smaller aperture would be better. The depth of field is just short of what I would like. This was taken with the ISO set to 800 with an exposure of 1/125 sec. at f/5.7.
