Random rants and occasional photographs

Water avens and a bee

Category: insect, water avens
Or as the Swedes would say it, Humleblomster och en humla.

I was just setting up the rig when this bumblebee showed up. Knowing that it will not wait for me to finish setting up things, I fired the shutter and hoped that I got the exposure, sharpness and composition. Exposure, yes. Sharpness - good enough, but not pin sharp. Composition - yikes. All over the place, so I had to do some creative cropping in Lightroom to rescue what I could. So not a real keeper by any means, but I just didn’t have the heart to delete it. It was my first picture of the day, a serendipity at 9:01 on a warm Sunday morning. Life is good.

    Nicely done with the backlight! Detail is ok enough for the web, but you know the truth.
