The Common button bush's (Cephalanthus occidentalis) blossoms matured in the last week and the butterflies, skippers, and bees are having a hay day. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center lists lots of alternate names: Common Buttonbush, Buttonbush, Button Willow, Honey Bells, Honeybells, Honey Balls, Honeyballs, and Button bush. These two blossoms seemed to meld together and the bee was sampling both. I believe this is a Common eastern bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) although they look very similar to Carpenter bees.
A macro view of a decorative metal button. The frame measures one-inch across.
Strobist/technical info:
The button was placed on top of a piece of elevated plate glass and illuminated by one Nikon SB900 speedlight, the blue and green LEDs of a Coast TX10 Quad Color flashlight, and natural window light before being converted to monochrome.
The SB900 was positioned 80° CL and fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄16 power through a gridded snoot, with a Rogue "Chocolate" gel attached. The Coast TX10 was placed underneath the subject and shown through the plate glass. Soft window light 90° CR was used for fill.
The SB900 was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).
(Note: Sometimes I convert very colorful images to monochrome because of the contrast control the vibrant color tones allow; that was the choice I made in this case).
Between Threads is a projection mapping at the Peranakan Museum during the annual Singapore Night Festival (@sgnightfest).
With an uncompleted beaded panel on display, in order to complete it, there is a panel of buttons nearby that will transform the projection into an array of shapes and patterns.
No wonder the kids are having a fun time button smashing all of them!
No noise reduction was applied to give a slightly filmic feel to the image.
