Long time, no bee...

The last couple of weeks have been horrendously busy, and I've managed to take very few pictures. This was one I took this lunchtime on Coldham's Common, just across the road from where I work. It was taken with the Lumix LX3, which is proving to be an excellent performer when it comes to close-up work.

The Leica lens on the Lumix LX3 is really pretty impressive - especially for close-ups. Being such a small sensor, the depth of field is significantly higher than it would be for an SLR at the same aperture. The resolving power is excellent too, as can be seen in the 100% crop from the dandelion picture.
