I have experienced, understand and sympathize with the problem of breeze across an open field or meadow. So many times I've been out photographing insects in a field on a dead still morning only to discover back home that there was an imperceptible breeze that was just enough to blur any image taken at 1/10 second or longer TV. Got the flower in focus, and there it goes waving wildly in and out of the bokeh. Wait, wait until it settles, almost still, and then there it goes again, totally out of the framing, thrashing like a cork in a maelstrom. NUTS!
