Dangerous Job!

I am taking a Photography class and I am LOVING IT! We have a huge project that I've been working on and it has helped me learn almost every facet of my camera.

Anyway, I was taking Micro (really up close) shots with my camera of a bee gathering nectar from the flowers in my front yard. I don't have a lens that can zoom in very far so the only other thing to do was to get up really close. The thing with cameras is that if you aren't zoomed in very far then even if you are 2 inches away from the subject the picture comes out looking like you are 3 feet away. So, you can imagine how close I had to get to the bee to achieve a good Macro shot. It was a daring move and most of my pictures are blurry because I was running away or shooing the bee out of my face or SCREAMING bloody murder because it moved.....but all in all I got a pretty decent shot!


I better get a good great for this DEATH DEFYING stunt!

That is so freaky sis! It looks like he's totally staring right at you! You should totally read this book that I just read. It's called "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd. She is an amazing writer and the story was really good. The movie just came on video but DO NOT watch it until you've read the book.
