My final photo of the day. I am really pleased with my efforts today. It makes up for my lean days but I am learning something new everyday. Today I learnt that it is easier to take macro photographs when I use the 1:1 ratio. I am able to get much closer and still use my auto focus. Going manual is very much a work in progress but I am determined to get to the bottom of it. Thank you to Print Sense Photography for making it so easy to understand the terminology of manual photography.

The last photo for the day. The bees have been really busy and I am happy with the results.
Have a good day and Happy Snapping.

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

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.

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

This article has some great tips on getting more out of your cameras to take great photograpns.
I love this photograph of Solitarie Rose. This photo was taken at the Lady Norwood Rose Gardens in Wellington. It was a very warm and sunny day and the light was great for taking photos.
