Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at my house in CT. The flower is from our rose of Sharon bush. We got the bush in honor of my husbands grandparents.

Time

It was mid afternoon a time I love to shoot during

Lighting

I wanted to focus more on the bumblebee due to amount of pollen on him.

Equipment

This was shot on a Canon Rebel T4 with a 28-105 canon lens

Inspiration

The flowers on this bush are amazing in color. Half of the bush has the purple blue colored flowers and the other half has pink flowers.

Editing

No

In my camera bag

The first thing I go for is my Canon T 4 with my 28mm- 105mm lens. It gives a perfect window with variety of how close I can get.

Feedback

Patience. I stood for a while to let the bumblebee calm down. They don’t like me to have any thing close to them when they gather the pollen or go into the flowers. Also a water bottle with sugar water can help in your favor. Lightly mist flowers.
