Pentax-D FA 100mm f/2.8 WR Macro

**K2 to K50** · 08-01-2019, 03:21 AM - **2 Likes**

A couple of shots with the KP and the 100mm 2.8 Macro: the bee at a local nature reserve at the edge of an almost dried up pond, the wasp (or is it a different type of bee?) in my own back yard.

EDIT: For some reason, could not embed a hyperlink in the second pic to the original on Onedrive, even after a number of attempts, so putting it here.

Galane glabre / White Turtlehead [Chelone glabra]

Pentax K-1 + SMC Pentax-D FA 100mm f2.8 Macro WR + PENTAX AF 540FGZ (Diffuseur)
1/160 sec, ƒ/11, ISO 500 @ 100mm

Acadians gave its common name from the appearance of its flower petals, which resemble the head of a tortoise. In fact, in Greek, chelone means "tortoise".
I personally thought it was looking as a fish head, like the archaic Bowfin or the invading species, the Snakehead.

So nicely done. The ways the out of focus areas work to enhance this shot are pretty amazing. Well done.
