Bees around this location were smaller then what I'm used to. Aside from quick movement, the main difficulty was where the flowers were. The shade was a common place unfortunately.

The first technique I was taught was Bokeh. These flowers were hanging from a brick wall with a couple bees flying around. This was also the first time using a new editing program.

My main goal in this shoot was to increase the overall colour. I was stuck with green so a slight hue change was needed. I used a warmer tone for the third and the other was turned black and white.

Looking back at my old photos, my Hadleigh Park shoot was one of fond of. But there are some qualities that can be improved. Lack of colour was a main issue.

The castle was my intended photoshoot, the insects were a good addition. I planned to redo this shoot since my old project. With new glass lens to use combined with a different ratio, this shoot went well.

During my castle photoshoot, there was various flowers across the fields. While the sun was high I waited for the right moment. For instance, the hoverfly was constantly moving.

While on our break, this squirrel was used to people so I was able to approach without hassle. The only downside was the focus. And of course, I edited another sepia for the roster.

Our next stop was across a closed ceiling bridge. The light shines through the coloured plastic panels that act likes mosaics.

A friend of mine showed me Canary Wharf for the first time.
These two pictures were shot from below the trees aiming my camera up.

During this photoshoot, I discovered that direct sunlight with my macro lens challenged how I positioned the flowers. For this one, I rotated the image.

One interesting feature about flower photography is the natural colour born from flowers. These colours were left unaltered for the most part.

Just a quick hello from beautiful Argentinian Patagonia! I discovered the most beautiful view I have ever seen here, but I can't share it with you, until I get the conditions I am hoping for! In the meantime, here are some images from past adventures in Patagonia. 😊

The insect was much smaller than the purple flowers, so focusing was a challenge. Luckily, I had direct sunlight. (Using the spray bottle was enjoyable for this shoot since I used it for the indoor flowers)

Wildflowers are a common ground with macro photographers. During direct sunlight, I did my photoshoot in a forest with a few small flowers hidden within.

Colour was the main concept of the shoot, the first example was taken during the daytime. Through editing, I adjusted the light levels to allow the colour to form a sunset.

I wanted to revisit an old location from my project. One of my main photoshoots uses boats as the central focus. I experimented with different colour elements, from deep blue to sepia.

I wanted to better my old flower shoots from a project years ago. I learned and experienced technique over time and I've improved quality.

I decided to start this year fresh with what I had practised years ago: yellow flowers. This time, I added water drops using a spray bottle. Using a new editing software called RawTherapee alongside Gimp.
