Location

This photo was taken at Cattai Wetlands, which is located north of Taree on the Mid-North Coast of NSW.

Time

It was mid-afternoon, not the best lighting for taking photos I know....but you deal with what you have. My friend & I did anticipate leaving home early and we definitely did do that however we got sidetracked & ended up in a different direction, finding this location on our way home during the afternoon...

Lighting

All natural lighting...

Equipment

Sony A230 camera, handheld...unsure of the lens due to the length of time it's been but I'd say 70-200mm kit lens which is one of the few I had at the time.

Inspiration

I wasn't looking for anything in particular. I seen the bees around the water lilies..knew that it was something that would work if I could manage it and then sat & waited until one of those bees were positioned just where I wanted it.

Editing

This was taken quite some time ago, but from memory the only editing was just to crop the photo.

In my camera bag

This particular day, just a few kit lenses and my camera body. I've upgraded my camera since this photo & added a lot more equipment.

Feedback

Patience...
