Macro, pseudo HDR, Bee

This photo was taken with a macro lens. A macro lens is designed to take pictures of small objects close up. You’d need a linguist to tell you why it isn’t called a micro-lens.

This photo is a pseudo-HDR, rather than combining three separate images, I just tonemap one image. You don’t get as much dynamic range, but in full sun, that doesn’t really matter.

There were also humming birds around. However, they eluded me for the most part and I didn’t get any good pictures of nature’s helicopter.

So while I wanted to get a picture of both the birds and the bees. I had to settle with the bees.

Oh well, the hummingbirds will be back next year.

P.S.

If you like my photos, consider purchasing my photobook. It features many of my best and most popular photos, printed on high-quality glossy paper!
