MONOCHROME MONDAY: Little bee

in #photomag6 years ago

Today I want to share another photo of the bee.

Bees are very fussy. Not having enough light is very difficult to get a clear and sharp picture of the bee. The task is complicated by the fact that the autofocus often spends precious time focusing. During this time, the bee can turn around itself twice and as a result, the picture may appear in an uninteresting perspective.

Due to the lack of a macro lens, I shoot with the Closeup filter, which makes focusing possible only at a distance of 10-15 cm. Most flying insects leave the flower as I approach. You have to creep towards them very slowly.

Therefore, when I look through the footage, most of them go to the garbage. And I am very happy about a rare successful shot.

your photography skill is really awsome.
i also like photography
can you give me some tips to cap these kinds of awsome nature pics?

Oh thank you for a kind words!
I'm a newbie in photography myself. Tomorrow it will be a two years since I started to photogrpaph after I joined to Steemit.

A friend of mine told me that in a photo, it is necessary to spend 10 thousand hours to become a professional.
Therefore my advice will be simple:

  • You must constantly take a lot of pictures.
  • it is necessary to study the basic approaches to composition in the frame
  • You need to study your camera and switch to using manual or semi-manual settings
  • You have to look at other people's photos and remember the techniques used in them
  • You can participate in photo contests and magazines in order to try different styles in a photo
  • calmly accept constructive criticism and use it in future work

In addition, I believe that photography is not only what the camera sees, it's also work on post-processing photos.
Therefore, another advice is - you need to learn the basic techniques of processing and constantly process a lot of photos.

I say all this not because I appreciate myself or I think I know it well. These are just the steps through which I passed.

Ohh, Thank You so much Sir.
It Is The Best Response i have got from any Photographar.
