Behind The Lens

Location

This shot was taken in my back garden in England on a lovely sunny summers day.

Time

It was taken in late morning.

Lighting

Just good old sunlight.

Equipment

Canon EOS450D with EFS 60mm Ultrasonic lense which I was experimenting with.

Inspiration

I was on the lookout for a good macro shot using my new EFS 60mm lense and noticed this Bee having a rest on a stump in the sun.

Editing

Only basic sharpen and crop using Picasa.

In my camera bag

I always have a miniature tripod on my camera bag just in case even tho it rarely gets used, Canon EOS 650D SLR, 70-300mm Lens, EFS 60mm Lens, EFS 18-55mm Lens, polarising filters, cleaning kit and SX720HS 40mm zoom is always in my pocket.

Feedback

A steady hand and a bit of patience and manual focusing.
