Pictures By Alan

See, here's a bee to go with the birds.

The white blurry speckles on the left portion of the image puzzled me for a bit. I finally decided it is dust on the 2X telephoto converter lens. Normally the dust would be so far out of focus it wouldn't affect the image, but on these very close-up images, the dust is partially in focus. I have seen this before with fisheye lenses, where the focus can get so close that the surface of the lens itself is in focus.
