Weekly Photography Assignment: Bees

Each week we’ll be giving you a theme that you can submit a photo for, and we’ll choose our favourite to be featured on the Nature TTL website. Participating in these assignments will be a great way for you to force yourself to push the boundaries of your photography and improve together as a community on the website.
Week 138: Bees
Our theme this week is Bees. This week, we want you to think about how you can shoot bees within your photographs. Can you take a shot where a bee is sitting perfectly on a flower? Or maybe you could try to capture one in flight?
Here are some tutorials to help you:
- How to Photograph Bees
- The Best Habitats for Macro and Insect Photography
- How to Photograph Insects in Flight
To enter your photo to this assignment, add it in the comments below this post. By submitting your photo, you are giving us permission to feature your photo the following week if it is chosen as one of our favourites. Please keep images under 2MB in size otherwise you may have difficulty uploading them.
Here are some guidelines to keep things running smoothly:
- Photos must be your own work
- Please enter no more than 3 photos per week
- Please only enter photos taken within the week of the assignment
- Include a description with your photo and tell us a bit about it!
You have until next Tuesday, 31st August, to submit your photo.
