Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the National Botanical Gardens, Canberra Australia.

Time

These bees where doing their thing, posing beautifully, presenting their best sides in the early morning glow.

Lighting

Early morning proved to be the most beautiful lighting to show case the simple beauty of these underappreciated beautiful little contributors to our wonderful ecosystem.

Equipment

Canon 7DMkII, Canon 60mm macro lens. All natural light :)

Inspiration

I've been wanting to capture the perfect photo of a honey bee with a decent depth of field to focusing on the whole subject, was absolutely thrilled I captured this lil guy, being able to show case how intriguing our bees really are :)

Editing

Just the usual adjustments in Adobe RAW to convert from a RAW file to JPEG to enable sharing :)

In my camera bag

My 7DMkII, tamron 18-270mm, Tamron 150-600mm, canon 60ml macro, tamron 85mm F1.8, extra batteries memory cards and a truck load of patience :)

Feedback

F11, Shutter speed 125, ISO Auto. Bright sunny morning and plenty of willing participants ;)
