I'd like to thank to my dog for letting me take a picture of a bee during his walk [OC] (lemmy.world)

I cropped this @ 16:9 suitable for desktops! I've taken a lot of bee photos this year, but this might bee my favourite

Very gracious of your dog! It’s a delightful photo!

He's not known for his patience, so I made sure to give him a treat for waiting a few minutes while I got the shot

I'm surprised the bee isn't wearing a hipster touque

(Pretty shot!)

We tried but the bee was too buzzy to pose for a hat photo 😬

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself)

I wanna take photos like that! 😯

I'm shooting with a Sony APS-C camera and a sigma f2.8 18-50mm lens.

This was shot with natural light and no special equipment (besides the camera). I did a little work in Lightroom (lightweight Photoshop) but this is mostly as shot.

I got pretty lucky with the light here though.

Edit: I should add that I deleted about 70 photos from this mornings session. I shoot a lot and pray to the autofocus gods.

Ok, and?

We need to make the disrespectfully disinterested "Ok, and?" comment a thing on pics. It seems to parody the weird negative overtones regarding innocent content effectively.

No, you don’t.

Or... you could just let people enjoy things?

Just because you don't appreciate something, doesn't mean that everyone feels the same way you do.

We often have different tastes. And that's ok (you don't have to like it, but you also don't have to be rude)
