"Busy Bee"

What Type of Camera and/or Lenses Did You Use?

Nikon D3000, 55-200mm lenses

What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?

It was a sunny day with a slight breeze. I used a lens hood for keeping the sun out of lens. No flash was used. Always try to keep the sun to your back or out of direct line of the photo. Take as many photos as you can, as they won't all be that "perfect shot" you are trying to achieve. Experiment with different settings and keep shooting.

Advice

  • Use the macro setting
  • Use a tripod or monopod
  • Take several shots

If You Remember, What Were the Camera's Settings?

F8, 1/250th of a second shutter speed, ISO 100
