In the abandoned backyard, we tried to take photos in the waning light of evening, but the bees had not gone. They were flying around lost and looking for the home they used to know. It was eerie and even though we could see our house over the fence, we felt a million miles away.
Today, trucks driven by strangers will begin to demolish the little building and put a giant new one in its place. I can hear the grim hum and occasional beeping of the earth movers next door as they rip up beautiful mature flowering trees. Poor bees. The neighborhood is changing.
Images taken on the D3200 /Processing, trying different things as I get the hang of the new little camera.

That is sad to hear! The beekeeper must be missing the bees dearly!
that is a really sad story

Poor bees. Lovely pics. Did you mean a new editing workflow or an in camera editing style, I wasn’t sure.
Poor bees and trees. Can’t help but think of Joni Mitchell’s Big Yellow Taxi . . .
Just trying to figure out the best way to shoot with this camera Imene Said Kouidri and then how to process those files. I actually gets better “film” looking results than my D3…
ahh, you just said Poor Bees. I love you.
also… why did he leave his bees?
is there a rescue place that can come and get them? bees are so endangered right now.
He did not leave his bees. He took them away in their hives…the ones flying around missed their ride.
They look great. I get better filmy look with my 50D than with my 5D maybe it has to do with the grainier pics
might sound silly but this processing fits the mood as you explained it perfectly … i can just feel the bit of sadness in the images … really lovely!!
That second photo of Gemma is killer. Her clothing looks great with the building backdrop, and the tones work very well together. I like all the clean lines behind her.
