Another still life from the beach. It was another warm and sunny day and the breeze from the harbour was very pleasant.

Seagull, Petone Beach_0009.jpg
Another seagull picture. This one was resting a leg. I like the bokeh affect of the waves in the background.

Seagull, Petone Beach_0007.jpg
Two days ago I went to Petone Beach to take photographs of the Queen Mary II in Wellington Harbour. I took the opportunity of trying out taking photos of different subjects to have a change from flower photos. Here are a few shots that I took.

I went out again later in the afternoon and took more photos and I was really pleased with this photo. I am very pleased with what I have achieved today. I hope I have another good day tomorrow.
Happy snapping

Have a good day and Happy Snapping.

Bee on snapdragon.jpg
Another favourite photo of mine. You can just see the bee peeping out of the snapdragon flower. I have had a good day with the camera today. Some days are better than other and it is worth waiting for them.

Hoverfly on Paris Daisy.jpg
Another one of my favourite photos from today’s photography session. It has been hard to decide which is the best one.

I have been informed that the insect is a hoverfly and not a bee. I think I need to brush up on my insects lol

Hoverfly on a Paris Daisy
Today I have been outside in the bright sunshine taking photos. I still have a few Paris Daisies in the garden and the bees were very busy collecting pollen. It is a real challenge being fast enough to get good photos and this was one of the best I took. I am pleased with how it turned out. I love the contrast with the bright yellow flower and the subdued dark background. Forever a taste of a late summer in New Zealand.
Happy Snapping

I have been informed on Flickr that the insect is a Hoverfly not a bee.

Today I took lots of photos of flowers and my cat and this photo was the best of the bunch. I have done no editing or cropping with this photo. He is hard to capture at times as he senses when I have a camera in my hand and keeps moving around. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
Dandelion seedhead_0003.jpg
I am very pleased with how this photo turned out despite my lovely cat trying to walk in front of the dandelion and brushing all the seeds away. This photograph seems to have an otherworldly feel to it. I love macro photography and am constantly looking to get more out of my camera. My aim this year is to go manual with the camera so I can get more results that I am happy with.
Happy snapping
