The twitching head of this curious bird almost drove the AF crazy. The narrow depth-of-field of the telephoto end helped isolate the bird from the distracting background. Olympus SP 550 UZ, ISO 100, 1/200 sec, f 4.5         Tiny ant on a chlorophyll diet. This shot posed a number of challenges. The leaf was swaying in the wind, depth-of-field was extremely shallow and the shadow from the tip of lens was creeping in as I got too close. The macro capability of the SP 550 is as mind blowing as its ultra zoom. Olympus SP 550 UZ, ISO 200, 1/125 sec, f 6.3     START | PREVIOUS | NEXT | END - 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9| 10 | 11 | 12 (continued in the series here...)
