Honey Factory Photo

Photographers Note

During the summer as here in Austria on the shores of the Lünersee the alpine grounds are covered by a rich variety of flowers. These flower carpets are a prime hunting ground for bees that collect nectar and pollen from them and play a major role in this ecosystem.

The honey resulting from this alpine flower nectar collection is very rich in flavor and is best bought directly from the producers in the numerous markets to be found in the alpine villages, usually once a week.

Similar remark applies to cheese, the summer cheese made from milk produced by the cows on the alp is must tastier than the one produced indoors during the winter.

Salut Terror,
T'as décidé de faire concurrence ŕ Alex? Męme couleur de fleurs mais toi tu as deux abeilles au lieu d'une... frimeur, va! ;o)
Mais attention ŕ la censure qui risque d'ętre deux fois plus sévčre qu'avec celle de ton concurrent. La compo est nickel est le bokeh aussi mais je vois que tu n'as męme pas utilisé le bazooka DLMQT... c'est quoi ce boulot?

Nice macro of this two bees operating on the pink flower. Good definition and sharpness against the blurred background.
Good job.

Salut Jean-Yves
Super ce macro. Tu vas commencer une carričre sur TN ?
La couleur des fleurs est trčs belle et l'excellent bokeh donne vraiment un effet de 3D. Sympa le cadrage décentré.
Bon appétit.

Hi JY,
Excellent close-up pic! Excellent PoV + frame. The details of the flower is quite good and probably nicer if you got closer to get a bigger bee. Good work.

Hi Jean-Yves,
Well framed macro with bees and lots of summer feeling. And I'm still not quite thrilled. I guess it's something to do with colour combination. On my eyes pink and green just don't look harmonous. Silly, isn't it.

Hello,

Ton image ressemble beaucoup ŕ celle de jhm.
La luminosité de la tienne est meilleur et le bokeh parfait !
Une netteté parfaite également. Bon travail !
A+

You're right, there is nothing like the honey produced in the summer, and especially from the mountain flowers. Great close up shot, especially if this was taken hand held as the camera shake etc. is difficult (I know from experience!). Nice shot!

Hi Jean
Good macro of the bees operating on the pink flower. Good DOF and sharpness against the blurred background. Well done.

Bonjour Jean Yves, jolie féerie de couleurs, ces abeilles sont bien figées et le piqué est excellent, le décollement de larričre plan est net pour un esthétisme dimage parfaitement réussi, je me laisse subjugué part la beauté du contraste subtil que dessine la lumičre, bien amicalement

faubry (32409) 2006-08-17 9:34

hello JY, alors lŕ tu vois je suis ok car c'est aussi une photo recherchée, pas uniquement une fleur de ton jardin, et les abeilles apportent beaucoup ŕ ta photo.
trčs beau bokeh
