In The Gardens

_DSC0243
Until recently I didn't have any interest in macro (close-up) photography.
I find I enjoy it but I'm still trying to figure it out.
My biggest challenge is getting some part of the subject in focus.
I have no idea what we're looking at here but I like the contrast.

And I like that you didn't do a flower. Well done Wayne.

Pretty good for a guy that's still learning. Keep on clicking.

I, too, find macro challenging. I think that this is a terrific shot.

CaT said...

CaT, the photography in Asylum is exceptional. Let me know your impressions.

Thanks for the comments.

Well done Wayne!!! Macros are my new passion...and yes...love weeds, budding branches, flowers...it's fun experimenting!!! I don't have a macro lens yet, but it's on my list!!!

Cathy, from PiecesofContentment.blogspot.com, shared that she uses a Raynox DCR 250 super macro conversion lens...but it can only fit on a 52mm-69mm filter size...check out Cathy's May 11, 2012 post to see what she says about the lens...and see some of her magnificent macros!!!
