Yellow Butterfly Pollinates a Small Flower

By on April 26, 2012

I’m about to snap a flying bee, and this beautiful yellow butterfly landed unexpectedly in front of me. What a sudden surprise! A beautiful yellow butterfly has the power to stop me photographing the previous subject. Instead of bees, my attention was into a butterfly. I was scared to missed the beautiful sight! It caught my attention, and took a snap right away.

For more than a week now, I’ve been very busy photographing agents of pollination like; honeybees, butterflies, and other garden insects. The good thing about it? I’ve learned a lot from these garden insects. I will continue to capture more interesting photos of insects in the garden.

The Bee and the Flower

By on April 20, 2012

I spent every minute of my time photographing the bees while pollinating the flowers.All my attention was completely glued in photographing these interesting subject of science.Yesterday, I was disappointed,only two photos of bees made it. Other photos not so clear and some blurry. Today, I want to accomplish something,anything to photograph the same subject for the second time around.(Click on image to view larger)

But first of all, I want to identify these kind of garden bees. According to my research, this is a honeybee. It was small with a body color combination of yellow and brown stripes. Upon photographing, I have observed the way they behave and the way they transfer from one flower to another. They actively moves so fast. It took only 2-3 seconds to pollinate a small flower and there after, they will come back to pollinate the same flower again.I cannot even count how many times they come and go.

o far, I was satisfied with the result of my photography,it turned out better than expected. You could be more excited to see the  macro shots. I’m using macro to make shooting more easier but, it was a tough close-up shot. The good thing about macro,the smaller image becomes larger. You can even view completely the full body parts of a bee.

I feel so tired using one hand to shoot, making another hand free to move  and to make a quick blow in case a bee landed on my face. I feel uncomfortable holding it.My morning ended with the bees. It was an interesting subject. I will continue to post more bee photos and a video of the bees while pollinating the flowers next post.

Bee Pollinating a Flower

By on April 14, 2012

(Click on image to view larger)

I was walking around in the garden and suddenly, I saw a bee pollinating a flower. I Immediately  took my camera and snap! It only took a few seconds  for a bee to pollinate this little flower. It was tough to photograph a movable bee, it doesn’t keep still. I was holding my camera with a single hand, and one bee landed on my hand. My blood runs cold. I thought,I’m having a heart attack! I didn’t make any move and just a quiet pause until the bee flew away.I felt so much better after that. Whew!What a relief! I took a few shots but,only one came out to be good. Anyway, I was inspired to post the only  image here and, I will snap for more tomorrow. Today was just a timely morning  visit in the garden.

Flowering Bulbs

By on April 13, 2012

It’s a morning routine to take a walk through the garden garden and check what’s new! It gives me the welcome feeling of coolness and spaciousness. My frequent visitors around; bees,caterpillars, butterflies, and humming birds.Today is a  big surprise! A multi flowers blooming and waving gracefully following the direction of the wind. Don’t forget to click on images to view larger.

Scadoxus multiflorus.This is a flowering bulb actively growing underground that blooms only once a year.It’s a summer bloomer! Bringing a new bloom in the garden creates a mystic feeling.

It’s summertime,this is clearly the season to do some serious looking and caring in the garden.I prefer a garden that looks natural although, my garden is not that big enough to plant other varieties of flowering plants. I’m planning to expand in order to create more spaces for other garden accents. It needs a little renovation in the patio. It requires a shade to block the direct sunlight, to protect the existing plants which is too sensitive to sunlight.For the plants, I prefer flowering plants with a minimum maintenance and a tree to create a shade for a purpose. This summer is the time to what needs to be done in the garden.I love all kinds of flowering plants as long as it looks attractive and the flowers quite beautiful.

Cloud Landscape

By on April 4, 2012

Shooting the clouds is an inspiration.You can see the sunlight details  and aerial view of the entire surroundings. What a panoramic view! The cloud landscape shown here was all taken moments before mid afternoon. You can just imagine the intense sunlight upon shooting below.It was a great deal of determination. It seems the clouds within my reach, and reachable.

Summer time is the best time to shoot any subject. Hopefully, I can take more snapshots of cloud landscape. It is also best to view the bright clouds along the way going to the countryside. I’m collecting beautiful photos of different landscapes in and out of the city. It’s just a matter of time, 2 weeks or less. Come again and view for more.

(Click on images to view larger)

There’s no photography rules this time. It’s just a point-and-shoot, There’s no limit and adjustments. Sometimes, you  want to make fun and play shooting a subject and see the test results. I took snapshots  while driving along Eastwood city.This is quick and easy  take which do not require special equipments. A pocket-sized digital camera (Canon Ixus) that I can depend on especially when you are in a different situation.I know that this is not the right place to shoot a subject and more precautions to follow.It’s a reminder that safety first so, I just shoot when the car stops on a heavy traffic. Long and heavy traffic gave me  ample time to shoot my subject.It just happened that a beautiful scene came across my way so,I’m taking the risk of what the result would be. Let’s see! These snapshot looks like a reward of patient effort! ! Finally,This Glittering lights made it more favorable to feel its worth it but, I don’t appreciate my own work. I’m tired and I want to sleep soundly tonight. Goodnight  my dear readers! Thank you for stopping here.
