A Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly. Notice the dark coloration. Partially Melanistic? Not sure but it was different than the black morph and the yellow morph we were seeing.
For those who don't know me, when I say "we" I'm referring to my wife and I. She is my partner in wildlife and nature photography and is an incredible photographer. She has a far better eye than I do.
The butterfly was shot with a Nikon D500 and Nikon 200-500 lens at 500mm. The 2 bees were shot with a Nikon D500 and a Nikkormicro 105mm VR. I don't do a lot of post processing. Cropped and some minor brightness and saturation correction. My goal in post processing is to make the photo look like what my eyes saw out in the field.
Honey Bee. Notice the red pollen in its pollen sack? I won't talk about the shots that didn't turn out. I was hanging out by this flower for about 20 minutes watching the bees come and go. It really was kind of a special moment shared with one of nature's incredible creatures.
A sweat bee working over a common fleabane flower. This was more of a "moment of opportunity" as we were hiking a trail.
