Behind The Lens

Location

I capture this photo in Hong Kong Victoria Park

Time

It is noon time 12:40 pm

Lighting

Since it is a sunny day, the strong sunlight give me a very clear view of Honey Bee and the hyacinthus orientalis

Equipment

I used Nikon D700, nikkor afs 28-70mm + close up filter , Gitzo 1228 tripod

Inspiration

I really like Honey Bee, everyday, honey bee is busy hard-working to collect honey and pollinates many flowers in any part of the world.

Editing

I just adjust the color, contrast and crop a bit in this photo

In my camera bag

I like simple and minimal, mostly I carry a Nikon D700, afs 28-70mm and a Gitzo tripod

Feedback

Timing is the most important . This kind of macro nature photography that we need is patience. I spent three hours to wait for a right Bee in this photo, and took the shot when the Bee kissing the hyacinthus orientalis.
