Bee on Yellow Flower

Hello,

This is another photo that I took on my walk around Obuse, Japan. There is some old buildings and most of them have beautiful gardens that you have to see to believe.  Luckily Obuse as a town actually will allow tourists to visit many of these gardens that are a part of the town and are inside of people's houses.  Outside of the entrance to either the gardens or the houses is a panel telling you you can enter and enjoy the space.

This bee was all alone in one of those gardens enjoying this yellow flower to it's fullest.  I almost feels like I could sneeze by just looking at this flower and all that pollen in the center of it.  The bright yellow flower and the delicate striped bee seem to be moving together and in love with working in a symbiotic manner.  The gone background makes you focus on the scene and nothing else.

Thank you very much for reading.

Yellow Flower Bee

Hello,

This is so nice to me that I printed it out and now it is at the entrance of my house.  It was June and very hot but at least the flowers and bugs were out in force.  I happened upon this flower and thought it was pretty and well lit in the sun and took a couple of photos.  Just as I was going to walk away the bee came and landed right on the same flower not even caring I was there.  I took that she wanted her picture taken, so that is just what I did.

This almost all yellow picture amazes me that few do.  The yellow in the overlapping petals and pollen are the same tone so blend nicely together.  Then the black from both the bee and under the pollen pop out to focus your eye to them.  It's like they say watch me I am doing my job I love what I do.  I normally don't do anything for any of my pictures but for this one I turned it upside down.  It has more of an open fell rather then a sad look.

Thank you very much.

White Flower

Hello,

This picture is one of the first with my new camera that I was actually happy with.  This was taken with a Sony A55 which is my first DSLR, before I only had two bridge digital cameras and one film point and shoot.  The film one was a challenge mostly because I was in high school and was using it for school.  I loved my two bridge camera, one a Fujifilm and the other a Nikon.  Both took pictures very well and easy to boot but I could use any filters for them realistically.  I have some photos from both to upload onto this blog.

Now it comes to my current camera the Sony.  When I first unpacked the camera I was overjoyed, in my mind it was my first "Real" camera.  I could control everything but it and then I could get the pictures that were in my head.  I took a bunch of photos right off the bat and was nervous to see them.  I think that first week I took about five hundred photos, I kept two, only because I felt I had to.  It was so nerve racking to see the pictures were so bad, at first I thought is was the lens but I knew it was me.

I have been working steadily toward getting better and this beautiful flower is one of the fruit of my labor.  The sharpness in the stamen and pollen itches my nose.  The white petals folding over on themselves makes me think of a blanket.  Even the little peek of green and purple background adds a little jab of color.  I am working hard everyday to get better and I hope you all love the results.

Thank you for looking.

Hello,

This photo is not that old but I fell in love with it the second I saw it on my computer.  The color is so striking and varied it almost feels like I used Photoshop to create the image from nothing.  The green and black background with the wonderful purple petals showing you the way to the beautiful yellow center.  For a flower on the side of the road in Japan I think it tells a great story and a happy one at that.

Thank you for looking.
