Behind The Lens

Location

I captured this Bee photo in Hong Kong Victoria Park

Time

This is an overcast day at noon time

Lighting

Since this is an overcast day, the light is very soft, and ideal lighting for shooting flowers pictures

Equipment

I used my favour Nikon D700 camera and nikkor afs 28-70mm with a close-up filter lens.

Inspiration

Everyday, honey bee is busy hard-working to collect honey and pollinates many flowers in every part of the world. So, we all need to save the Bee since the number of bee is decline seriously in the world

Editing

Very lucky this shot, it need not any post-processing. It just do some normal color and contrast adjust

In my camera bag

I like simple . Mostly, I carry My Nikon D700 and afs 28-70mm lenses. sometime with a Gitzo1228

Feedback

Capture a sharp flying bee need a lot of patience, I spend three hours to shoot this bee photo in the same position. I need to wait for the good-looking Bee flying to the right position and press the shutter. But if you can do that it worth of it :) Moreover, this Bee photo also awarded a Kenko International Filter Photo contest 2014 Close up Award.
