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!
