Close ups of leaves can highlight a lot of detail that you would otherwise miss.
I love the extra detail that you notice in a photograph that you miss at first glance – in this case the clarity and delicacy of the wings.

Taking a shot of a mundane object, without any excuse of poor lighting or lack of time to compose a shot is incredibly difficult. This is my first venture into studio shots for some time.

If you like a subject, don’t be afraid to keep taking pictures of it – each time you will refine it – it will either be better compositionally, or technically – maybe even both.

Finally, a photo that may not be perfect, but I can’t think of anything I would change.

Most of the picture ticks the boxes for composition and sharpness, there is just one little problem…..

Going on a bee identification course gave me the perfect excuse to take some photos of bees (as if I needed such an excuse).
