Smaller Things In Nature

It is true that when i'm photographing wildlife, i prefer to photograph the bigger animals. When i was in Kenya it was Lions, Giraffe, Elephants. But even back home in "sunny" England i still prefer to try and capture Foxes rather than Insects.

But you don't become a great photographer just photographing one thing. So i got my camera out and set out to photograph the smaller things in nature. Thankfully there were lots of Butterflies, Hover Flies, and Bees around.

For these only natural light was used, and i was zoomed in as far as i could. I also used a low f-stop to get a shallow depth of field.
