UK - London - Kew Gardens - The Hive 06_fisheye_DSC4380

I'd seen quite a few shots of the Hive installation so was really looking forward to photographing it myself. Most shots I'd seen looked much like the one below so I'd not had a good understanding of what the whole structure looked like. Hopefuly this fisheye shot gives some idea of that.

From the Kew Gardens website, 'The Hive is an immersive sound and visual experience. The lights you see and the sounds you hear inside the Hive are triggered by bee activity in a real beehive at Kew.

 

The intensity of the sounds and light change constantly, echoing that of the real beehive. The multi award-winning Hive was inspired by scientific research into the health of honeybees. It is a visual symbol of the pollinators’ role in feeding the planet and the challenges facing bees today.'
