4 Clips are as Busy as Bees

I would not suggest filming busy bees with a shallow depth of field for those of you who are not patient.  Because I was trying to capture them at 240fps I needed as much light as possible which meant I needed to keep the iris open, which also meant that I would be operating with a narrow focus distance. 

These little guys were hard at work pollinating my raspberry bushes, which meant that they were happily distracted and not too interested in me.  Let me follow them around for a good amount of time, which is nice because I had to do an insane amount of takes just to have these 4 useable shots. 

My motivation for capturing them was the recent news stories about the dwindling numbers of bees.  Hopefully people doing news stories about them will find them useful.

7 Clips are a Little More Scenic

Hey everybody.

I'm getting closer to getting in a routine where I can update this blog at a steadier pace. My goal would be 4-5 clips per week.

Here is some footage I shot in the early morning at a body of water near where I live.  Enjoy!
