Bee on Sunflower | A bee on a sunflower in summer. | http://www.larslentzphotography.com |

Equipment: Canon T1i (D500), Sigma 18-300, Hoya HRT CIR-PL UV.

Settings: 100 mm, 1/100 s, f/5.6, ISO 500, Program Mode, Spot Metering.

I was photographing the giant sunflowers in the garden, and they were impressive at around ten feet in height. I noticed bees buzzing around and working on them, and I thought it would be so cool to get a shot of one on a sunflower head. They were going from one sunflower to another, making their way around the heads.

Then there was a bee taking his time on one of the heads and it looked like a great shot. The bee was moving, and the wind was blowing, so that made it difficult to get a good shot. The mosquitos were buzzing around me too, and I was waving them off.

But, then the wind calmed down to just a breeze and the bee looked like it posed for me. I took the shot, but my camera was on center-weighted average meter...

Why I do what I do: I enjoy uplifting and inspiring others by capturing and creating beautiful photos and works of art. I print them on a variety of materials. About the prints: For paper prints, Somerset Velvet and Metallic are good choices. You can choose your own matting and frames to match your taste and decor. Frame-less options include metal, canvas, and acrylic. The prints all look outstanding on these types of materials. Are you interested in learning photography? Visit my BLOG at NEGATIVEMOMENTS.COM.
