icepixieSign you use your camera's macro mode too much: getting lily pollen on the lens.
Shining in the sun (with -0.3 exposure compensation)
Fast shutter (1/6") to keep it from being blurry in the dusk
More here.
This evening, I also saw two juvenile mockingbirds sitting next to each other on a pole-to-house power line, taking turns chirping at their mother, who was in the grass below. I think baby mockingbirds have the most pitiful chirp ever; it's only one "cheeeeeep," but it is the saddest little cheep you ever heard.

::must investigate proper use of macro function::
I love macro shots. So easy, and the usually turn out really well.
