Insect Photography
Blog #369
September 27, 2022
This morning after doing the laundry and hanging those, I went outside to capture some photos that I can share in Main and Pixie. Last few weeks, what I captured are some pretty flowers that I saw in the neighborhood, so this morning I wanted a new subject to capture and that is some insects.
While I was walking beside those tall grasses, I saw a butterfly staying on one of its leaves so I slowly went near where it stayed. I was a little cautious that time so it won't fly then I slowly take my phone near to the leaves where it stayed so I can capture it. My camera was set to Pano mode since the butterfly is small. To make it a little bigger in the picture, Pano mode is the mode that suits to that kind of photograph.
After making three shots of it, it flew to another leaves so I hurriedly take another photo of it. Same with the first photo, I used Pano mode in this one again.
After I'm satisfied with the snaps that I made, I walked a little to find another subject to capture. I saw a little bee flying from one flower to another. So I was thinking to make it my second target but it wasn't easy at all. When I was about to capture it, it transferred to another flower again. I was chasing where it landed so I can capture but I wasn't successful so I decided to find another one to capture.
Along the way, I saw this fly on a Taro leaf. Same with the butterfly, when I take my phone near to it, it didn't fly. It stayed on the leaves until I take my phone back to my pocket. As I walk a few more steps away from where the first fly, I saw another fly that has different color with the first one.
In this fly, I had to snap quickly because it's moving. In my gallery, I had three blurred photos of it and on the fourth one, it was okay. After taking a photo of it, I was about to turn and walked back home but Xander called me saying there's another small bee flying from one flower to another.
Capturing this small bee took couples of minutes since I'm following wherever it went too. On the fifth flower, he stayed for how many seconds, so I finally took a photo of it. When done, we walked back home and shared the butterfly in MAIN.
That's for today's insect Photography. Good evening to all!

Love the snaps! It is hard to take a picture with insects because they fly when you get near to them haha I feel you!
