Lille, 11 May. Zf + FTZii + Zeiss Milvus 50/2 at f/5.0. Handheld. Certainly not my best shot, but I particularly like this lens' backgrounds, even at mid apertures. It is not an APO lens, but LoCA never disturbs.

Li'l flowers with tiny beetles - these flowers also attracts a lot of bees these days. It's from a large shrub on the house wall in my backyard, so it's causing a lot of humming and buzzing.

Bee orchids Ophrys spp. are so intriguingly beautiful -- and their taxonomy a real mess. Is  this related to O. apifera? Would be nice to see it in UV. I did a French O. apifera in UV, but haven't had a go at our local species O. insectifera yet.

The plant must keep itself patiently still for focus stacking in the field?

Hi Birna
This was in a small area of scrubland near a wildfowl reserve. The area was strewn with rabbit droppings but the Bee Orchids were plentiful. Sorry i can't help with detailed identification and don't posses any UV equipment

My more Botanically minded friends pointed out two other orchids - i will post pics when i get a bit more time

It was very still today (plus humid and around 28C) so that plants weren't moving.
I took a tripod. No tracking rail, so i did the 2nd best option of focusing at different points across the range.

Beautiful orchid and great shot/processing, Colin. That D500/lens combo (still..) overshadow your mobile for such subjects :)
Unfortunately, I missed the marsh-orchid season this year - luckily there are other species starting their season soon.
