Hear you. I’m 100% manual.
With macro, it feels like a necessity.
Added my first birding lens this weekend, and I’m listening.

Manage action shots by manually focusing on still objects on the focal parallel with my subjects, but that doesn’t work very well in flight!

Do get bitten by mosquitos, the occasional mammal-luvin’ fly, and ants of many types, especially when standing still, too close to ant 🐜 hills, bent and focused on a subject— but so far, no stings nor bites by any insect, spider, nor herp.
She cheerfully hopped on my hand for a visit.🌈

Thank you for the #blueBrew
It’s a little too hot for me to drink yet, am letting it cool, like the weather here, which’s dropped 15 degrees and 🌬️
Today I drop gf at airport, run some errands nearby, and if time permits, take an ocean dip 🤗

The values are good enough for the grayscale version, yet also I groove with the color version more, it generates more awe for me. Beautiful work. 😻
