Lens-Artists Challenge #130: It’s a Small World
I love macros. They are so exotic and different and really only can be seen either with a magnifying glass, a dedicated macro lens, or in my case, a good ol’ regular camera lens with a screw-on macro filter. These filters are tricky to use sometimes as everything must be completely still and as you can see from the below photo, it only magnifies a specific area of the image while blurring the rest.
Since the pandemic began in March 2020, I had not had the opportunity to photograph with my macro lens filters as I was being driven by work and anxiety to the point I had somewhat lost my muse and inspiration to make photographs. I hope to make some in 2021 as it’s looking like spring might be coming early. Therefore, please enjoy some pre-pandemic photos. These photos were from the beautiful spring of pre-pandemic world of 2019.
5 Months into 2020…
So we’re now 5 months into 2020 and I think you’ll agree with me when I say this, “2020 sucks!”

Creating a Container Garden…
Almost 3 years ago, I moved into my current home. There were raised beds in the backyard and the front yard was incredibly bare except for a Japanese Maple tree which my mom has threatened to cut it down many times since and I have to keep reminding her that this is my house, not hers.
2 years ago, I started creating my garden. I planted 2 cherry trees, 2 plum trees, 3 strawberry plants, and 6 dahlia bulbs hoping to stop my neighbors’ weeds from invading my yard.

Sunshine’s Macro Monday
Playing with Lightroom after watching a few videos on YouTube on how to make a subject pop. This is one of my favorite macros and I think with the adjustment, I achieved my goal of making my subject pop.

Wits End Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected Beauty
This remains one of my favorite macro shot of all time. I did not expect cherry blossom buds to look like this close-up.
I was not expecting a butterfly in my strawberry patch but I’m glad it landed there, just long enough for me to take my picture
A Photo a Week Challenge: Three of a Kind
After re-reading the challenge rule, I realized it’s a different “three of a kind” – the kind where I’m photographing an object in three different angles, not the three of the same object three of a kind. Continue reading “A Photo a Week Challenge: Three of a Kind”

A Photo a Week Challenge: Depth of Field
It’s been a while since I last took macro photos and yesterday, I finally got to take some when I visited some ponds in the next town over. The ponds were beautiful but frozen. I’ll have to go back when it thaws. I will post some of the landscapes I took in another post.
