Michael Ventura Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I had planned a trip to Alabama (USA) before I broke my arm but went ahead with it, in spite of the left arm in a cast. Didn't shoot as much as I had hoped but glad I went. Above is the new Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama....these hanging metal blocks symbolize the pervasive lynchings that went on in America up thru the 1960s! A horrible part of American history. Anyone who has seen the movie "Big Fish" will recognize this fantasy town of Spectre, near Montgomery, Alabama. The set was never torn down and is now a tourist site along the Alabama River 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulette To make a sad story worse, after all the struggle, screeching and commotion, the cockatoo proved too big to be eaten. The python abandonned it!! He did try. Don't know how he thought he could swallow the beak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been a good image for Live news yesterday here, because today is National bee counting day (or hour actually) in Holland. Not many Alamy clients in Holland though. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'd like to be able to take these kind of shots too! I'm guessing it takes the right lens (which I personally don't have), the right light/weather, quite a lot of patience and a bit of luck!

Alan Beastall Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Matt and Bill, All you need to do is to observe the subject, look for a pattern in their behaviour and to anticipate their next move. Look for a flight pattern of the bee and where it may hover before landing on the flower. With a bit of practice you can do it. I only spent about 1/2 Hr on this image and the one below. Nikon D850 / D5 with 105mm 2.8f macro lens set on auto focus which locks onto the bee quite quick. The only problem is the narrow depth of field shooting with this lens, you are only talking of a few mm., leading to parts of the bee being in focus others not. If the eyes are sharp you are nearly there. All the best. Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
