Honey Bees : Micro Nikkor 60mm AFD

The winter flowers has blossomed on the terrace. Unlike earlier years, there seems to be a profusion of honey bees busy collecting sap from the flowers.

I was really surprised at how sharp the 60mm AFD is.

The photos below have been taken with the Nikon D300 and the micro nikkor 60mm AFD.

Portrait | Experiments with the Nikon 18-70mm

A long discussion with two of my closest childhood friends post the Christmas lunch. The discussion centered around photography.

This photo was taken in ambient light with the D300 and the Nikon 18-70mm at 70mm at f4.5 and 1600 ASA.
