Macrosperiments 1

A change of Heart

Experimenting with analog lenses on digital cameras since 2010 using adapters for my first sony emount camera, I got even more exited about sony sensors as their technology progressed. When it comes to lenses I love canon and leica. Before that, I was filming more, but am from a family of photographers from my mom's side, specially my grandfather. After trying a 50mm lens with a macro filter and adjusting the aperture for some bee photography this weekend, I decided to to try something new. I took an old Minolta Rokkor 50mm f 1.7 which really has this blue and green tone because of it's glass. Canon Lenses on the other hand, depending on the series really gets out the red and yellow tones, I feel. I would wonder what some of the other photographers think? Please leave a comment I personally really love older glass! I used a macro converter and put a macro filter + 10 on top of that. When I looked through I got really exited and the sun was still out.

I decided to go and catch some bees.

Bee Attempts

This was my first attempt with this particular converter. I will keep trying different filters with this new combination.

Wild Flowers

In some wild flower fields, bees peacefully work. Sometimes there are huge bumblebees and i'm surrounded by swarms. It's an amazing feeling to just trust them, be still and calm while taking pictures. It feels as if they can sense your intentions, presence and benevolence. Bees would never sting you. Every time photograph them I have a more profound experiences of synergy.

Here's an older Quote :

^{" Sometimes we can't undo because it was not meant to be undone; Our experiences are a reflection of a rightful realm of energy mirroring our moral code of individual conduct. True wisdom has a soul, past or future, let choice become presence beyond time. " - Soan Shinobi a Hive account@yangyanje original}

As I grow and evolve my perception keeps changing. Currently the Hive account@mindfullife community on steemit has been most beneficial to me. By regularly practicing mindfulness and joining the meditation conference twice a week on discord since over a month, I notice a subtle change that humbles me very much. Experiencing the sensation of infinite growth potential in everyone, I am most grateful to have encountered this group. The power of Group meditation is something so fascinating and incredibly strong. I admit I was a sceptic at first, but am totally convinced that if you are sitting there thinking it's crazy, just try it. Maybe you have also have been meditating by yourself and have reached nirvana? 'I am not enlightened, as the sun is far away and I feel like a tree that's always trying to reach it, constantly branching out into space.' Find out for yourself and maybe it suits you? It has changed my life for the better and maybe can help you too. Us Steemians being a unique community, I find great pleasure in experiencing how we evolve together and uplift each other. Each in their own respecting state, path or process.
