Albert Herdianto Widjojo
Since yesterday, my wife and I stayed at my wife’s sister’s house. Remember that in the garden behind his house which still leaves blooming flowers often get visits from bees and wasps, so before I went for work this morning I waited for their presence, of course, to take photos.
Sure enough, before long I waited, carpenter bees came looking for food in the flowers of the bride’s tears or coral vine (antigonon). As I thought, it was very difficult to capture the picture because it kept moving. Maybe because the coral vine is very small flowers, then it only takes a split second for the bee to suck the essence of a flower and move to another flower quickly.
Wasps or bee are indeed unique and extraordinary animals. With a large body and small wings, he can fly swiftly and perform difficult maneuvers! For, being able to fly so lightly, the flapping of wasp wings has an incredible speed! Altshuler said (researchers from the US), every single second a bee can pack up to 230 times! A photographer once tried to freeze the wasps’ wings when flying, and was caught at a speed of 1/6000 seconds !!!
It’s difficult to capture it at close range because it’s fast moving. I was lucky, with a little patience, and a lot of blooming flowers for its breakfast, it didn’t leave immediately.
That wing is pretty amazing. So are the gorgeous pink flowers.
I will try it with another camera than a camera phone to get a clearer wing. Or would you help me to take the picture of the bee here Ann?
… and the flower is indeed fascinating, Ann.
RFLOL, Albert, I will be right over…
It must be very nice, Ann. Just always make sure your floor is clean and safe, okay…
that’s a bee and you did catch it’s wings in flight
Yeah! I think that’s not so clearly but not so bad either…
I would use it as reference to do fairy wings in flight…
That’s a proud award, but I refer you to Carol’s butterfly wings which were more clearly.
the point would be to show a motion blur, thus indicating the flapping of wings
Agree with your point. Then I’ll wait for your fairy wings in flight
might be a while, but when I do then you can say “I did it first”
I promise I won’t say that. This is a boy scout promise.
You would be well within your rights to make such an assertion, as it is true
Thanks for you not doubting my promise.
If you don’t take credit, I will still give it to you
I do agree that it is difficult to capture things up. You did a great job!
Thanks for the compliment, Shavkat
No problem, my friend. c”,)
That is one huge bee there Albert. Love the colors of blue on it. I tried for probably 6 months to get my first allusive butterfly shot. They are indeed hard to catch.
Yes, Kim, that’s big indeed. I’m sure it’s more than an inch.
It’s hard because I didn’t bring my camera, and with a camera phone I can’t adjust the speed.
Great shot! Powerful camera!
Thanks for the compliment, Mavic
not a problem, I have been trying to capture flapping wings and lightning, but not a success.
you will surely succeed soon.
Or… There are easy ways to capture both; catch it first then take the photo.
Great – beautiful photo’s , I believe it is loved by all
Thanks a lot for the compliment, my friend
Very pretty, nice photo & post!
Thanks, Mommy. Glad you like it
Wonderful job Albert. All insects are a challenge indeed. Takes time and patience. Hope you are enjoying your time away for home for a little while with your wife and family.
You’re so right about the insect, Carol.
Thanks, Carol. In fact, my wife’s sister asked my wife to accompany her because her husband was out of town while she recently had surgery to replace her kneecap.
Had a hard time spotting the wasp but still sees it in the end
Oh really? Is it difficult to see wasps around you?
NO, I mean from the photo… lol
have to look sarefully to see it…
but of course from Kim’s quizzes I know I need new spectacles…lol
Oh… I see… That’s spectacular, magical though for I even couldn’t find the wasp in the picture.
The black one isn’t…!?!?
Well, I’d visit the spectacles shop soon… …
lol Hey now, don’t blame me. giggles.
I have advised Alibb not to blame you.
Nah, its not blaming, its gratitude…
now I got excuse for new spectacles!!
hahahaha
Not you who need glasses but me.
Btw, Nice to joke with you…
LOL … I’ve a nice time joking with you and Kim too 🙂
Buy two new spectacles and use both at once… You will get the vision very clearly!
Haha but one for looking good and one for normal use…
put together = loo good normally
lol
*Pls laugh even if its lame*
Do not worry. I have a plan to laugh out loud after reading this comment…
Haha, spreading the joy, huh?
Just remember to keep it moderate or you get police knocking on your door…
You know very well that I am always moderate even though I am a good friend of the police
Hmm… that’s good … I don’t have police friends, could you introduce me to one?
Maybe next time when I decide to swim over after anti-shark vest are invented, I’ll need his help.
lol
Unfortunately, I don’t have a police friend in your country.
My nature is really still a beautiful-beautiful picture friend
Thank you for the compliment, Lado
This is really beautiful !!!
Thanks for the compliment, Houda
