Up close and personal……………………
Really appreciate Jonathan for taking time to come from Singapore to capture moments of my work in still life. He had also shared a lot on the art of photography. Its all about inspiration and being able to capture the feeling and moment there and then. The final challenge is to capture the African bees closeup at 5pm. The timing for opening up beehives during the day is crucial. The weather must be cool in order for the bees to stay calm.
Come next week, when Jonathan leaves for Singapore, we will resume the transfer of bee from Kampala to Timothy Centre at Masaka.
Sending a little bit of smoke signal telling the bees we are coming in peace.
Waiting for the bees to calm down before signalling Jonathan to come forward for the shoot.
First time for Jonathan to come so close to a colony of African bees.
Another magical moment for Jonathan's profile. Up close and personal.
