Lockdown photography and my garden curiosity
Boredom encouraging a different perspective as lockdown has forced us all to be reflective.
An eavesdrop on nature, a macro view of the photographer.
We often miss the very small in a world full of trivial nonsense. Notice the beauty of flowers on a garden fence

Wildlife in a lockdown garden. Not sure what bee this is yet, but its tiny only about 10mm in length. Is this Macropis europaea on Lysimachia nummulites.
The ashy mining bee or grey mining bee, Andrena cineraria, is a European species of the sand bee genus. Its distinctive colouring makes it one of the most easily recognised of the genus. The females are black, with two broad grey hair bands across the thorax.

An abundance of flora around Watnall Woods, Nottinghamshire. These dandelion seed heads were glistening in the early morning sun, in-between showers that is.
So why the title? Well I guess it sums up my year in photography. It has not been the best of years. What with global pandemic,lockdown,and my own ill health. This year is probably the least I have managed outside to take photo’s. Photography has long been a crux for me in being able to do something that still feels like being normal as opposed to someone with a chronic illness and disability. Having said that though I also feel that the shots I have managed to take have been some of my strongest shots I have ever taken. I’m not to sure how I should feel about that to be honest. Anyway I guess my love for photography truly still burns,even though things have limited my ability to be able to truly experience it. I truly hope that next year will be a better year for our world. In the meantime my friends keep posting your excellent work, as wether you realise it or not it motivates the rest of us. Take care P x
Flowers in a easing lockdown garden. This is a rose we have had for a very long time, I think its called "Harry Wheatcroft"
I think this is either Micraspis 16 punctata or Propylea 14 puntata, in any case its a yellow ladybird. Might the clear jelly substance be eggs?
A bee in a lockdown garden. Caught this bee having rest and wash after a busy session of collecting.
I think we all need reminded about the vast beauty that still exists in our world during lockdown.
So lockdown photo experiments (No.1)
This shot was taken at f-3.5 iso 640 and shutter 1/60sec and I used the Velvia film simulation to really make the colours stand out.
El natural title for two reasons really. Firstly because this shot is taken in natural light,showing the beauty of nature all round.secondly I love trying to get the shot the way I want it in camera without having to post edit. I do also love learning and using post editing and it’s probably a clear area where I am very much a novice. I’m actually buying a pc to allow me to expand this very area of my photography. I shot this in velvia film simulation and is un edited straight from camera.
