I took this picture on a very weird day, one moment it was sun all over and a few minutes later pouring rain. But the bee stood his ground between the laurier leaves, and i could take a lot of pictures between the heavy rainfall.

F/1.0? wow lol is that correct? The DOF looks to wide for f/1, none the less great shot! Posted 9 years ago

  I think it's because Jeroen uses a reversed lens. Posted 9 years ago

  Ferdy is right, With F1 at this magnification it would be a DOF less than hundreds of mm's. My camera doesn't know what lens there is on te camera so automatically in the EXIF it says F1. I always use F16 with any of my reversed lenses. (but you are definitely not the first one asking ;) ) Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago

Cold weather is really great for insect photography :)

  Thanks!
  
  Yea on days with heavy rain most insects don't go anywhere until they are completely dry, Like with this one it takes them a few minutes to dry themselves of to fly away again. Time that can be well spent to take pictures! Posted 9 years ago
