Location
I took this shot in front of my barn. A friend had given me a heavy rough-cut Top bar honey bee hive.I remover the to & saw this lady guarding her egg case. I went back to the house, grabbed my camera, and took her portrait.Time
Late afternoonLighting
I believe I used a flash on a bracket to the left of the camera with a soft box.Equipment
Nikon D750, 105mm micro Nikkor, no tripod.Inspiration
It was a spider. I like to shoot photos of wildlife.Editing
I shoot raw & only process color, white balance, etc. No major photo-shopping. I prefer realism.In my camera bag
D850, a 200mm micro, 500mm FL and a 1.4X extender.Feedback
Just keep your eyes open and a camera near by.
