I have a problem it seem like if a person dosn't have 1000 plus followers you will never win anything on Viewbug. I can never see any new post unless I go into other profiles. I have found any of my photos I have posted in a contest How can I expect anybody voting for it.

My problem is seeing many poor quality pics get as many votes as the truly top quality pictures. Not quality, but popularity voting by one with the most followers.

Absolutely stunning.

Thanks Graham

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo aws taken in Potchefstroom South Africa in my Daughter's Garden

Time

Just after 14h00 I just arrived ans saw them in the garden

Lighting

the lighting was bad and hash had to make some ajustments on the camera

Equipment

1dmk4 and 300 f2.8 lens with 2x converterv the focus is 3.5meters and very diffecult on such a small insect the camera was hand held the same way as panning

Inspiration

I always take any form of animal life

Editing

I use Lightroom to crop and sharpen

In my camera bag

At this time I only took 1 camera with as I was only in Potchefstroom for the day

Feedback

It is not easy the use a 300 lens with 2x converter to take thies photo's it is very difficult to focus on a moving object and with a converter it becomes very slow
