In this photograph I have captured a bumble bee gathering pollen from flowers. I like this photograph because I did capture a bee gathering pollen and capturing insects is very tricky when it comes to photography. However, what I do not like about this photograph is how the bee is not in focus. Although the flowers behind the bee are in focus which is better than nothing being in focus.
Since this photograph was taken outside and a decent hour when the sun was not too bright, I did not have to adjust my camera settings very much. Thus, my aperture was set at F 6.3 and the exposure speed was set at 1/80. This allowed the perfect amount of light. Like I stated previously the focus in this photograph should be more on the bee and it is not; thus, the focus in this photograph is not strong.
I took this photograph because I wanted to see if I could capture an insect on a leaf or as in this case a bee on a flowers. It is hard to capture an insect because they are constantly in motion and you cannot give them direction or tell them to stop moving. What I would improve in this photograph is again the focus on the bee and the cropping of the photograph. There is too much negative space with the flowers, the photograph should be condensed allowing only so much of the flowers to be seen and have the bee be more of the main subject.
