Today i visited the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens to capture some Macro and Bird photos (It felt like it had been awhile since I had been out taking photos). I had two main goals when I visited and that was to capture a (hopefully) half decent macro shot of a Bee or related insect and the same for some Bird photographs. I tried shooting with the Raynox DCR-250 but hand held was a bit of a pain (given there was also wind) so I just used the Nikon D610 and Sigma 150 mm macro in this case.

I edited the image in Lightroom and Aurora HDR. I also fed the image through Topaz Denoise AI (because I was handheld so increased the ISO to get a faster shutter speed) as well as Topaz Sharpen AI (just to remove a little motion blur from the Bee as the shutter speed was not quite fast enough)
