Behind The Lens

Location

This pic was taken on my balcony which faces South West allowing for some magical sunsets most evenings. I noticed the bee while I was relaxing on a warm Australian summers day just before sundown.

Time

Around 5:45PM as the sun was about to set behind the horizon.

Lighting

Just the sun as my back light

Equipment

Iphone 5 - I am an absolute amateur clicker but have always been interested in photography. Fortunately smart phones are continuously improving allowing amateurs like me a bit of fun and the occasional lucky shot. I did have to get close to the bee and stabilise the phone on the balcony edge.

Inspiration

I try to look for composition in nature and colour. I have some graphic design experience and look for the same elements when I am designing any press media.

Editing

I did play with the colour settings like saturation and contrast.

In my camera bag

Just my trusty smart phone.

Feedback

Yep, don't get stung photographing bees.
