.Equipment
I only ever use a Bridge Camera, the Fujifilm HS30EXR, on the macro setting and using a monopodInspiration
I just love bees and insects in general. They're fascinating creatures and there's a wealth of them out there..... great subject material!Editing
Nothing other than crop in a little closer.In my camera bag
Just the Fujifilm HS30EXR and a monopod!Feedback
It's important to have patience, for every shot of this style you'll have hundreds of failures. Patience and perseverance are they key so I've found.
