Saturday morning was spent over at Mejier Gardens. This summer seems like it's been so busy, I believe this was my first visit since spring. No, Meijer Gardens does not have good diving, this was a chance to give my other hobby a chance. It was a beautiful day, but for some reason I just wasn't feeling it.
Lighting plays such an important part, in this case the sun was blasting away and I probably should have got an earlier start. Most of my shots look like they are getting hit with a laser beam, but on the positive, I did see quite a bit of wildlife. Turtles, frogs, dragonflies, ducks, geese and even a deer.
Had the most fun attempting cool bee shots. Fun is a loose term because it was next to impossible. I have to imagine child photography would work in much the same manor. See the action, focus on the spot, only as you press the button to take the picture not only does the subject move, but it disappears. Okay it's frustrating to have an out of focus subject, but it's embarrassing when the subject isn't even in the frame! In the picture below, the bee is actually sticking it's tongue out at me as I'm sure it knows I'm not even close to being able to focus on it.
That's why my favorite photo of the weekend is going to this one. First, it's a flower, although sometimes the wind can make it challenging, there's NEVER been a time when attempting to shoot a flower, did I completely miss it. The second reason, this shot involved teamwork. It really wasn't in the greatest spot, so Becca posed it for me. Take that nature! We can get creative too.
