As opposed to the macro photos that I clicked last year near Halloween, this story has nothing to do with Snow or Chicago or Halloween, this picture story was created overseas (India) in a small town where I originally belong.
So masks up while I narrate this story to all my fellow LocalGuides:
Background: While in India, we had this tiny garden on our balcony which did pacify me every morning all through my stay there. Going to the balcony, watering the plants, watch them thrive, was a part of my everyday schedule.
Thankfully I was carrying my macro lens accessory with me, so–
Anecdote: On that very day when I came across young roses in bright pink hues, I had to make them a model for my lens.
But, the story doesn’t end here, for there were multiple uninvited guests too sticking onto the flower buds and simply not willing to leave. As if they were a part of the rose plant.
As you can see the teeny weeny insects too posing along with the rose ?.
But, the story doesn’t end here either, for my lens caught a pair of bees-like-creature. Using this term because I had no idea what they were until I did a Google Lens Search! This pair of insects are called Syrphid Fly or Long Hoverfly.
-Have you ever tried Google Lens feature before?
If not, I’d highly recommend it for it’s gonna return amazing results.
Two of them were hovering around the young flowers and later on balanced themselves on either side of the tiny limb. Highly likely they wanted to be a part of this macro photoshoot. Aren’t they super enchanting?
-Do you like to capture bugs/insects through your lens? -Have you ever caught uninvited guests during your photo shoots?
@ReemaGandhi Nicely taken. Was it with a mobile phone? And nice to know you have beautiful flowers in the garden, many more reasons to head back home more often
Thank you for your interest in this story. The young buds and hovering bees are very special to me, owing to the location of this photo shoot (my native place).
And you’re right, city spaces are narrowing down nowadays, unlike ages before when people could grow a huge garden outside their homes.
Having a huge garden these days is nearly a dream, so tiny gardens on the balcony sound much better. Easy to be taken care of and way less expensive! What do you think?
I, for all the photography purposes, use an iPhone all the time. The reason being it’s relatively handy and accessible.
For this particular shoot, I used a macro/wide-angle lens accessory meant for the phone. That too is pretty easy to run. Are you a mobile photographer too?
Thank you so much! I own a macro/wide-angle lens accessory suitable for all phones. It’s pretty easy to work with & most of all, I find it highly rewarding when it comes to achieving great pictures.
What you’ve noticed in the image was in fact, done intentionally. It was a little too windy & I had to gently manipulate the delicate flowers to keep them in place and capture.
Thank you for the suggestion though, I will keep that in mind next time! (:
Thanks a lot for the info @ReemaGandhi Yes, I am a mobile photographer for all the time though recently I have bought a DSLR camera. Mobile photography is easy as you said and I feel comfortable. For the camera, you need preparation to take a photo that makes me lazy to use my camera frequently. I prefer mobile and I use Samsung A50s for taking most of my photos. Regards.
Yes, I like both the photos you added @TravellerG Ji. Your photography skill superb. I always like your photos. Thanks for tagging me to see your nice flower photos. Regards.
