Your close-ups are extraordinary, Maewyn. I don't think I've seen a better, clearer photo of a honey bee close up. I know I've asked you before, but could you tell me again what sort of camera you're using?
Thank you. I was lucky to get those photos! The bees were very active, so despite the large number of shots I took, more often than not they'd moved out of focus by the time I pressed the shutter. I also recorded a video of the bees and their humming. I'll attempt to post it later.
I have a Pentax Optio S30. It's five years old now. I've been thinking of getting another camera that has a better macro function. However, there's a huge variety out there to choose from!
Well, you get wonderful results. I take it five years is old for a camera. No doubt this is true for any digital technology. Thanks for the info., Maewyn!
Like Mechtild said, the close-ups are remarkably detailed and vivid. How was the lighting when you took these photos? These are gorgeous, especially the velvety Banksia.
Thank you very much! The photo of the whole banskia plant, the hibiscus and snow drops were taken early in the evening with a flash. The rest of the photos including the close-up of the banksia were taken between 11.00 am and midday in full sunlight.
That's even more remarkable. Usually when I use flash, the light will bring the central object in stark detail while leaving the rest of the object in the complete darkness.
