This image was taken on a visit to a historic manor house called Sand in East Devon, EnglandTime
This was about 1.30pm.Lighting
It was a bright sunny day with no wind.Equipment
this was taken on one of my older cameras, a Panasonic DMC-FZ150Inspiration
I was actually photographing the dog roses, the honey bee flying in was a complete added bonus!Editing
I did crop this a little to get the close up.In my camera bag
I am a very lazy photographer & only ever carry a camera.Feedback
This sort of picture would be hard to plan, but if you see some bright flowers that are being visited by insects it's worth taking lots of photos to get one like this.
