CARPENTER BEE & MARIGOLDS πŸŒΈπŸ’–πŸŒΈ

in #macrophotography β€’ 7 years ago (edited)

Hello Dear Steemians,

This is my entry for THURSDAY MACROPHOTOGRAPHY & COLORPHOTOGRAPHY initiated by wonderful @juliank.

This is my trophy Carpenter Bee I captured last years in August 30th in my neighbor 's garden. Since then I took many photos of these bees, but they did not turned out as well as this one. They are very fast and usually prefer bell shaped flowers where they disappear within split second so it's really hard to get a clear shot.

That is beautiful!

Thank you so much Dear @thekitchenfairy πŸŒΈπŸ’–πŸŒΈ

Something we must see more of. Not necessarily the pictures, but of the bees pollinating.

Yeas that's true, luckily we have lots of them every summer in my neighborhood πŸŒΈπŸ’–πŸŒΈ

Fantastic macros! The bee shows up so well against the orange! Tip!

Thank you so much Dear Melinda πŸŒΈπŸ’–πŸŒΈ

I used to be able to get pics this clear with an old Kodak digital camera I had. I can't do it now with my smartphone :( I love the colors in this!

My smartphone takes bright pictures too, but it's not so good for bokeh.

Very good post with beautiful shot.. All the best..

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it πŸŒΈπŸ’–πŸŒΈ
