garden wildlife update

in #hive-159662 years ago

Good day ,

Last night after sunset i decided to give the garden some water especially those plants that i have planted and seeded this year.

However some of that water landed on flowers and a complaining neigbour.

So i went inside to grab the camera and make some water drop pictures .

I started with this llittle pink rose originally solld as a white rose but i guess i have to much acid in my soil so they turn pink overtime.

Our green neigbour didn't look so happy with his free shower, he was sittitng on another small rose flower.

the blackbackground is because the photo was taken after sunset so i had to use my flashlight .

i was very happywith the light results using the flash on 1/4 and the camera on iso 400 f8 1/160 shutter speed

getting things in focus was a bit tricky and the wind wasn't really hellping either.

Great photos! I never get good photos of insects...probably because I'm a little afraid of them...

practice does help , i just find them facinating

The Macro photography is soooo good! Even if my phone camera is great. My hands are so shakey that the photo's becomes blurry as heck!

GRRRRRRRRRR

increase the shutter speed of your camera if possible iwill help to make things less blurry :)

I thank you my camera sensei.

NOw surrender your BUrgers!

Your macro photographs are amazing. I have no words to describe the beauty of these photographs. I love flowers more than insects, so your first photograph of a drop of water on a flower petal is one of my favorite photographs. Even so, I love pink flowers.

thank you for stopping by, i try to mix as much as possible insects and flowers , but sometimes the garden offers more insects then flowers :) have a great weekend

I wish to see the crab spider in the future.
!hiqvotes

they seem to be pretty comen , although on twitter i had other people saying the same thing that they still want to capture one on camera. i'm not sure if they life in your area or not according to wiki you can find them anywhere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomisidae

I like the grasshopper image display number two... dark but still elegant👍

thank you , it was a bit tricky but we got the light where we wanted it to be.

I hold a master's degree in Wildlife and possess a profound passion for observing untamed creatures in their natural environment. The sight of a rose adorned with delicate droplets is truly a captivating spectacle.🌸

Woww heart touching click of pink rose. I'm amazed to know that acid in soil could change the color of rose. You click all pictures perfectly.

thank you very much, the soil quality can have influence on many flowers not just roses hydrangea also changes color if the soil isn't good enough

You did a good job. The flower looks nice. Too bad for the neighbour who got an unwanted shower 🚿

Amazing photography, what a strange world we overlook.

thank you , indeed all those smal life forms running and flying in our own garden

Very beautiful photos, you can see the quality and the effort you put into them, blessings, continue like this, a big hug.

thank you , i'm glad you liked it.

Really lovely shots! I find myself taking photos of the beauty all around me often! Night macros! Now that's a challenge! Thank you for sharing! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

thank you i'm glad you like it , the benefit of macrophotography after sunset is that they move slower and you have complete control of the light :)

Most definitely, you're very welcome! Indeed! Good point! I didn't think about that. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Wow those macro photos are great @stresskiller
Even though the photos are taken in the evening, the quality is great.
