Nice, sharp, tightly composed shots Kerrie. The bee is fantastic. Do you still post on Dpreview ?

Did you spray the flower ?

Cheers

Well done Kerry. That 1st one of the bee is astounding.
Can you get any better with that lens ? If so, I'd love to see it :lol:

Have you tried any noise removal software/plug-ins ? Due to the bumped up ISO, that's the only thing I'd look to change.

Many thanks for all the kind comments, guys. :D

Justin: Yes, I still post pics on dpreview, but only the lens forum. I rarely post on the d70 forum, but only to make a comment. I don't recall if I sprayed the flower in this shot or not. I have a lot of shots like this, that were taken after the water sprinklers had been on.

Dave: I have Noise Ninja and Noiseware Pro, along with the NR in Capture and PSP. I rarely use them. I'm not as sensitive to noise, especially monochrome noise, as a lot of people. I don't like the color noise and will often use NR on that, depending on the shot and severity.
