Flowers, Bee, & f1.4

9/21/2013 Flowers, Bee, & f1.4

Flowers, Bee, & f1.4  Showers are coming our way so I managed to get a few shots before the rain; busy as a bee.  Flowers and bees just go together, but what about f1.4?  Well, when you put a 50mm f1.4 lens on a Nikon 1 V1 body, what you get is a 135mm f1.4 lens.  So, it’s time to experiment with the f1.4 on depth of field.  It’s relatively easy to shoot a couple dozen shots of a bee on a flower and get a vastly different image each time; just be varying the DOF for each shot.  This image provides a good example of the wafer thin DOF with the aperture set at f1.4.
