Artist's Comments

You know photography has taken over too much of your life when you are willing to do this, ooooooh goodness…

Well…yes…I was in a park, and there was a tree, and there were some bees, and there was a beekeeper, and there was me, with camera, doing something very dumb. A quick flick of the macro button and I proved just how crazy you can be taking photos.

I wanted to get in closer but because the bees moved so much the auto focus kept messing up, so this is what we got to settle for. So, about 5 inches from the swarm of thousands of bees, no protective gear, and taking photos :roll: the things we do for our craft…

This is just another one of those totally random photos that I thought I would stick up here, no real tie to the rest of work, just something I thought I was share, a testament to how foolish I can be.

ps. im violently allergic to bees

whoa, great macro. hope you didnt get any bite, that mustev been a risky t ask to take a picture of these lil bees, with no protective gear on :faint: pretty darn good view, i love how the picture is filled with countless bees, looks like a form of abstract when seen far away. good stuff :thumbsup: always love your crop and border work :nod:
:iconavotius:
crop? hehe, I also hate to tell you but this is the complete photo sized down, I probably could have croped to make the bees look bigger, but then it wouldnt have looked as intimidating probably :faint: bees...

anway, thanks for having a look, can always count on that huh :)
:iconxeq:

okay, only that i can understand it:

- 5 away inches from the swarm?
- thousands of bees?
- no protective gear?
- violently allergic to bees?

are you perv?? :lol: (just kidding)

i really love this masterpiece. currently i read a book about professional macro-photography by gilles martin, and i saw something similar in this book. that's the reason why i know how hard it is to get such a picture (and of course how DANGEROUS, even if you're allergic!!!)

what ever......

i absolutely love it!!!! :+favlove:
