Location
This photo was taken in my Kentucky backyard.Time
This photo was taken mid afternoon.Lighting
Best of my memory this was taken in full sunshine. Not something I would usually do, but this bee was hovering around the cone flowers for a long period of time.Equipment
I used a Sony One Shot camera. This was my first digital camera.Inspiration
The bee hovered around the cone flowers for a long time. I debated whether to get my camera since it was a bright sunny day, but it appeared the bee wanted his/her photograph taken.Editing
No post processing was done to this photo.In my camera bag
I usually carry only a small camera bag that will hang on my shoulder. I have one camera body (Nikon D3200) and two lens (15-55MM) and (55-300mm). I have a polarized filter for each lens and a neutral density filter small the smaller lens. I have several macro attachments lens for the (15-55mm) lens in case I wish to do macro photography. I also have a remote shutter release fob, several charged batteries and an extra flash card.Feedback
Even though the conditions may not be perfect for a shot, if the shot continues to beg to be taken, take it.
