This site is mainly my photography, as well as a few old blog posts.

These days I find I have more to shoot and less to say.

It's that macro time of year. When the sun is bright and the air is still, it's fun to try to capture the insects in the garden. With bumble bees what I tend to end up with is a lot of bee bottoms as they furtle around in the flowers. So I'll admit there was as much luck as judgement in achieving a shot like this. I'd love to say I waited hours for the perfect moment, but this time I got lucky quite quickly. I will now doubtless spend hours trying to recreate the conditions in an attempt to improve on it. But it may have to be next year now, as that bright poppy is already fading... f8 1/1000. Canon EF100mm f/2.8 Macro.
