So I'm borrowing this macro lens from a friend and I can't put the thing down - I love it. For those of you who don't know what a macro lens is, it's basically a lens that allows you to get super close to a subject and still focus on it so you get a super shallow depth of field (meaning I can focus on a pin point and have the rest blurry). It's also for shooting very small subjects. As you see below, most of these subjects are very small (with the exception of the shell).
Here's a taste of what I've been shooting all week.
This is some kind of Trochus shell from a Southern California beach.
One of my favorites so far - they look like gummy worms. This is commonly referred to as Coral Jade.
Geranium.
And of course one of the funnest things to shoot...water drops.
Thanks for stopping by! There's more to come.
