This is probably one of my favourite photos. This was taken soon after I got my first camera in 2008. It took many attempts to get the photo which I thought was the perfect shot. If I remember correctly, the photo was taken on P mode, as I was still experimenting with the new camera. The photo was taken at 1/1000 f8 55mm ISO400 The aperture allowed me to get good focus on the flower and bee at the same time, though in hindsight, I'm not sure whether a slightly smaller aperture would have given a slightly better result with more blur on the background. At the time, my maximum zoom was only 55mm (standard zoom) so I spent around 2 hours of trying to get the bee exactly where I wanted it. The flower is slightly cropped out, and the bee is probably more centred than I would have initially liked, however, the fact that there is space in front allows us to get a sense of space and movement.
