Bees & Butterfly Weed

I'm continuing my test of the iPhone for nature photography and videography. This piece was shot using the stock lens at 240 fps, replayed at 30 fps. Audio was also recorded at the time of capture. I used creative license and put the best buzzing at each of the flight times, along with dropping the level of background audio. New lens attachments are being tested and there will be a video available next week.

For those of you who are more interested in still photography I have started using Flickr regularly and can be found at:

As always, just sharing my love of nature.

Enjoy,

Bumble Bee - Eye to Eye

As often as I have photographed bumble bees and wasps I have never been stung (fingers crossed). This guy was busy collecting nectar from a silky prairie clover and did not mind me being in its face. I would love to feel the softness of its back, however, you first. Composition notes: There are lots of diagonal lines with an almost centered oval eye.  I think the lines make the image and there is depth with the pink flower flowing to the green background as an implied line. What do you think?
