Close up

I found my first photographic subjects in nature’s details and patterns.  They are everywhere and I could so easily spend an afternoon within a foot of a flower, in a tidepool, or near driftwood.  Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?

:-)

I love it.  As I was thinking about macro photography, I realize this is my tendency when shooting – I instinctively shoot tight.  I have to make large mental yellow post-it notes to remind myself to back-up and capture the bigger scene.

I haven’t had a macro lens for awhile now.  I’ve missed it.  I often experiment with my other lenses to get the shot I want when I photograph patterns and details.

Last week, however, I purchased a macro lens and just yesterday spent some time enjoying it.

Have a great Thursday and a great weekend!

We have family flying into town tonight – we’re excited to spend the weekend with them!
