Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in kew garden , i was just observing plants when i saw this bee hopping from one flower to another as i was already planing to take some good macro shots i thought i should try my luck with this bee and was very pleased when after struggling for fifteen minutes i was able to capture it in my camera .

Time

This probably is one of my favorite macro shots i have taken , i took this one in a hot summer day and if i remember it correctly it was late afternoon but because of sun i had really good light

Lighting

i am all about natural light so i utilized the natural light to take this shot .

Equipment

canon markiii along with 50mm lens and i took this picture handheld

Inspiration

nature and colors of summer

Editing

all i did was to bump up the contrast of this image

In my camera bag

i always keep my 50mm and 100mm lens with me because in my opinion you can never go wrong with these lenses (or maybe i just love these two lenses ), second thing i always keep in my bag is my flash gun you never know when you need it and off course my camera :P

Feedback

you have to have patience to take such shots .
