WhooHoo! 1st Place Macro! - Arlington Camera Photo Contest

WhooHoo! 1st Place Macro! - Arlington Camera Photo Contest

 

A couple months or so ago, a friend told me about a photo contest sponsored by Arlington Camera in Texas. She suggested I enter a photo and see what happens....So I did.

This was my entry:

Macro photograph of a bee

 

I took this photograph using a Nikon 50mm prime lens with a Hoya Digital Pro 3X Closeup lens attached. It was a late spring day up on Rampart Range, outside of Woodland Park, Colorado. I hung around this guy for about 20 minutes, 'shooting' him I don't know how many times. Luckily I was by myself, no one else would have had the patience for it!

Arlington's November Newsletter just came out, announcing the winners!

What's that dance when you have your arms out going in a circle called? Whatever it is, I'm doing it! :)

Hello Gene - You only need the patience if you have a moving target - LOL Flowers are good macro subjects. If the wind isn't blowing, they typically stay put :)

Hey Girl! Thanks so much! Cute little fuzzy guy, huh? I loved his colors - I'd never seen a bee like that before! Have you? I wonder what kind he is...
