Wednesday morning walk in the garden

stresskiller in #hive-155530 • last year

So this morning while it was still nice and cool outside , the garden is always in the shadow in the morning south-west facing. Best time of the day to sit in the garden and enjoy your coffee .

This is my contribution to the #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay .

taken with mobile phone

I spotted this bumblebee resting on a purple / pink corn flower while i was walking with my coffee in the garden.

Sony A6000 + Sony LA-EA4 + Sigma105mm DG Macro lens f2.8 ( A-mount )

Since the bumblebee was resting i quickly switched cameras, to take another picture with the 2.5 magnification lens

Sony A7II + Laowa Venus 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5x Ultra Macro

and then i spotted this other smaller bumblebee also resting underneath a flower

I asked the wife nicely if she would take some pictures while i was taking the pictures so that people can see how small the garden actually is and the way i take pictures . Above is when i was taking photos of the bumblebee and below is when i was taking a photo of the Dipsacus fullonum / Teasel / Grote kaardenbol

And the Echinops is slowly turning blue /purple

The Salvia has also starting to flower , amazing how a couple of hot days can change your garden.

And then something was buzzing around my head and landed near by , yet another bumblebee

This must be the smallest bug i've seen before it sits on a flower bud and on the other side of that flower bud sits a green aphid

Here another one is sitting on a yellow flower still have not found the right name for this bug / beetle . It's probably a Olibrus corticalis but i'm stil waiting on confirmation.

a lot of fluffy seeds waiting for the wind to cary them away

The diversity in plants is probablly causing that i mostly just have one plant of each specy i photograph.

As always such fantastic captures and great to see both your garden and you at work with your setup

I must buy some pringles, which I enjoy and then see if I can setup it on my flash and then get out with my macro lens and try for some myself

Great idea to show us how you actually take all these stunning macros! Do you also post process your pictures? My guess would be you do because they all look perfect. I only shoot with my (old) phone and to make the shots at least semi decent, I always need to edit them :D

The only post process i do is making sure the images are straight , the dust bunnies are removed, correct light if needed , adjust contrast where needed . And sometimes i convert them to b/w simply because some details are better without the colours.
