re: #79 Great White Snark

On a technical note, the bee shots were right at minimum focus distance, and at 5.6 which is wide open on that 400 mm lens. […] In theory that’s where a lens is at its sharpest. Not middling distance and an aperture like 8 or 11. A tripod was not an option so I went for a fast shutter. 1/4000th sec.

Is that just for long lenses or any lens?
