Nature photography is my passion. I love taking photos of flowers and insects, especially. I always make time to capture a few images anywhere we go. Purple flowers are always my favorite as well and bees intrique me. I really like taking macros.Editing
I did very little post-processing. A little tighter cropping and adjusted contrast.In my camera bag
Just my Nikon D5000 and Nikkor 55-200mm lens.Feedback
Keep a steady hand and adjust your lens frequently. Don't fear your subjects!!
