My Sunday Photo | Bees

Today for My Sunday Photo I’m afraid I’ve been experimenting.

For Christmas I got a 50mm lens for my camera, but since then, unfortunately i’ve really not found much time to practise using the thing!

Which is why this picture is still not the greatest, but at least it’s a start in the right direction.

I’m rather a fan of all things ‘nature’, as you may well have suspected from previous photos; so, as I’ve been out in the garden watching the bees buzzing and flitting from flower to flower, I really wanted to try and capture one.

Easier said than done I must say – those things are so fast and unpredictable!!!

But like I say – I probably didn’t dedicate the time to do it justice and to learn the process properly, as this was taken in about five minutes flat, while the kids were busy watching Dora The Explorer!!

    Five minutes or five hours…this is a stunning photo. I love flowers and seeing the bees at work. Great job. Looking forward to seeing more with this new lens!

    Considering you have said that you are just experimenting with your 50mm, that is a fantastic start! 🙂

      Hi Clio, thanks so much. I’m afraid I’m a bit of a fan of bees, so I will happily hover nearby, it’s wasps I can’t stand!! I run away from those!! Steph xxx

      Thanks so much Kim, not a clue what to photograph up close next!! People might get bored of bees! Hahaha! Steph xxx

    That’s a really nice photo, you can even see the detail on the bee’s wings. Well done.

      Thank you so much Anne, that what I was aiming for except they kept flying away!! Haha – at least I got one in the end eh. Steph xxx

    That’s a lovely photo! My 50mm is my favourite lens! It does have it’s limitations but it’s usually the lens I have stuck to may camera at all times. #mysundayphoto

      Thank you so much. Yes, I’m finding it lots trickier but perhaps I just need to play with it some more. I just can’t fathom some of it!! Steph xxx

    That’s a really good photo and I bet it’s pretty hard to capture bees like that!

      Thank you so much – they were a bit fast I must say!! Steph xxx
