Sleeping Bumblebee

Sleeping Bumblebee

A bumblebee sleeps on a brochure rack. She is waiting out the cold spell that arrived abruptly last night. Two days ago, temperatures we in the upper 80s; today, upper 50s–and that’s being generous. The letters of the brochure beneath give a different context than the usual flower or leaf. Taken with a Nikon D90 and the Micro-Nikkor 60mm AF. ISO 200, 1/60 sec, f/8, flash with alcohol bottle diffuser fired. Post processing in Aperture with the Auto-Correct plus increasing thee tonal range by manipulating the Luminance in the Levels brick.
