Day 230


Day 230, originally uploaded by AprilMN.

A moving lady bug on a moving 2 year old and the slowest macro lens makes for a fun half hour :) and 70 pictures later this is what I got :)

The kids really enjoyed playing with the lady bugs (we had a bunch in the house) but the little ladies didn't really appreciate their enthusiasm

Your persistence and patience were rewarded. I had a lady bug land on me today and it bit me! I didn't know that they bite. It made think twice about setting them free from the confines of my home.

My brother bought one of craigs list and right now he is on his mission so I get to borrow it! It isn't the best quality (it seriously takes 30 secs to focus on anything) but it is fun to play with :)

What lens is it? You're focusing manually right? Autofocus is usually a waste of time. Even so, that sounds about right for the hit ratio of sharp to blurry images.

Jeff it is a Vivitar 100mm macro. Like I said before my brother bought it off craigs list and I get to use it while he is on his mission.

I was switching between manual and auto focus, I can't remember with this one. It certainly was tricky because auto focus is waaaaaay to slow, and manual if anything moves a tiny bit it is blurry again.

Either way I am happy I got this considering the moving child and moving bug. It isn't really sharp but it was by far the least blurry!
