Re: PESO: Bee

[Rick Womer]

Alan, I like that pic a lot. The composition and colors work very well 
together. It’s also sharper than my attempts to shoot bees on flowers.

Re: PUG Themes & Guidelines

You must have a time machine, Stan.  The drop down definitely shows the 2022
themes.

The 'Themes & Submissions Guideline" on the other hand (I'll fix that
shortly)

Re: PUG Themes & Guidelines

[Brian W]

Apologies
That's what happens when you use a different computer to edit the files and
don't realise that the Themes file was one from 2021.

I'll fix it shortly.

The theme for August is 'On the Road'

Cheers

PESO: Bee

[Alan C]

It was cold (by our standards!) with light rain today - then the clouds 
dispersed & the sun came out. I noticed some bees on the Aloes & decided 
to try the Macro. This is the pick of the bunch:

If Pentax had released the MZ-D back in 2002/2003, the company would have
failed right then and there, probably with no white knight to save them. As
it was it cost them dearly and they never recovered.
Kyocera tried to build a Contax around the same chip and it killed them.
The sensor didn’t work.
