Sunday photo fun

I was fooling around with some images I took in the garden on one of those really hot nights last week. I call this faux HDR. Here's what HDR really means. I was just playing around with putting identical photos together.
I took two images that were identical. Lighten the jpeg image and left the RAW image as is. Then I merged then together on Picassa, did a bit of darkening, sharpening and cropping on the new "collage" photo and here it is.
This group of bees were settling in for the night.
They always sleep in the flowers, out in the garden, but this was the first time I had seen this many on one flower. There were six or seven of them vying for sleep space.
Still working on my focusing. Practice, practice, practice. 

Hope you're weekend was a happy one.
