Bed bugs are very smelly, it's better not to touch them,

I am often surprised how shallow the DOF gets in the near field. This is f/8 and you can clearly see the end of the sharp area in front & back

Yesterday we had a lunar eclipse, I was out in the hope of getting some spectacular image, but the moon was somewhat hidden until it was high up.
This was the best shot, postet here instead of in "Show us your best moon (and solar system) images" as it is not very special.

I think it is great !
All the setup it takes to track the moon, focus, get the right exposure, it is complicated

It was similar here: when the moon became visible above the horizon, it had already almost moved out of the umbra. However, my 400 mm lens with a 2x teleconverter would also have reached its limits when the moon was completely eclipsed. I didn't think a lunar eclipse would be so dark...

An hour later, it still looks quite interesting.
