More Flying Dessert Makers
A couple of more photos from yesterday's initial test of my Nikon 105mm 2.8G. The direct sunlight was harsh and this is the reason many macro photographers bring a diffuser, to make the light softer and dreamer.
All shots taken at 105mm, 1/320s, f/16-22 and around ISO 1600. You can click on each photo for more detail!
This one is really blurry, except for the legs - but I adore the movement of the wings. Those fellows are hard to catch in flight - either the wings are invisible or their entire bodies are completely blurred. I've actually discovered that 1/320s is an excellent speed for creating this lovely wing movement effect, however, the trick is to catch them just after touchdown or a split second before take off. Add to that some wind and moving plants and the task is near impossible - albeit being a fun game of catch and miss!

Nice beezzzzz!
On composite flowers, like dandelions, they have more work to do and stay in the same place for longer, making them easier to photograph. It helps sometimes.
That's a good tip. I actually seem to find very few places around the city, where there are bees or, for that matter, other flying insects to photograph. There's enough flies and poo, though.
I really like your photography work, when nature is working and taken by the photographer's lens
I like your photography following you now
