This very busy bee was buzzing around my lavender bush and kept me a whole one and a half hours before he settled enough on one flower for me to get a good shot of him.
This was taken handheld at f4.5 at 1/125 sec.

A picture or three, of my eldest daughter. I asked her to stand, first on the left, then took a picture with my camera mounted on a tripod. Then, making sure not to move anything, asked her to kneel down and look up to where she was standing moments before, this time making sure she did not encroach on her previous position. Finally, I asked her to sit on the footstool and look toward the camera. I blended the three photos together in photoshop using layer masks to reveal the figures below as each layer was added. Miraculously, she did as I asked!! Well there is a first time for everything!!!

Too a trip to the zoo and this little chap was obliging enough to pose.
