Robert's Ramblings

Mum's garden is simply alive and buzzing with Spring activity.

There is an army of little workers hard at work in the garden, gather nectar and distributing pollen. In fact you can hear the hive from from virtually anywhere on the property thanks to the fact they have taken up residency in the old and disused kitchen chimney. Despite this fact they mostly stay out of the house and in the garden where they belong.

To capture this image I have combined a very fast shutter speed along with a larger aperture of f/3.2. I could have opened up even more but the battle with narrow depth of field was already challenging enough. Instead I opted to up the ISO to allow a fast shutter speed.
