Wild daisies in harsh light

[biker]

Inspired by this luxborealis' post a few days ago. Taken by great-grandfather of his camera, by the 2005 bridge camera Sony DSC-R1 - EXIF info included.
The shot was taken five minutes after astronomical midday (we've got daylight saving time here) at focal length 71.5mm (120mm eq.), f/4.8.
While Sony RX10iii takes an 11-year technological advance, the larger sensor of DSC-R1 could make the background/bokeh a bit different. Judge for yourself.

This veteran camera is a matter of my heart. If anyone wanted to trade , I'd probably change it for the new RX10iii but it would be very hard for me.

Important: Please don't expect any kind of art here. The shot was uploaded just for fun and comparison.

Bokeh looks pretty good. And the bee looks kind of artful.

Thanks, Eric.

Actually, the bee (or rather a kind of hoverfly) was captured only in one shot - probably not the best one, but it made the picture more "spicy".
I was struggling with a brisk wind (changing focal distance permanently) - and one can't shot a burst with such a veteran camera. With JPEG+RAW you wait 4 or 5 seconds for the next shot.

Great shot from a camera with great specs that still seems to produce excellent-quality photos after all these years. Sony is still pushing the envelope.

Thanks for sharing.
