It's been so cold that we hadn't made a good trip to the Botanical Gardens to play with my new macro lens I got for Christmas. We finally made a trip out a couple weekends ago! Here were some of my favorites...
Notice I haven't got the depth of field quite worked out in this first one.
I also wanted to see how well the macro lens worked as a "portrait" lens...it would save me from constant lens-switching.
This one is actually a moss...so it is an extreme closeup. =)
I learned a lot taking these, or at least I learned what I didn't know and was able to do more focused research (see what I did there?)
This year's Orchid Daze actually started last weekend, but we didn't have time to make it there.
Expect more pictures soon. =)
While I was housebound, one day I did pretty much wander around taking pictures of anything that was lying around. =) I have tried to get good pictures of all the "bling" on Dasher before, but I don't think I really captured how much there was before, so I wanted to share these two...
I can't wait until I get to the beading on Dancer!!
