Sunday semi macro shots

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by Hive account@c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by Hive account@ace108 and I am sharing some semi macro shots I have taken recently.

But first off and perhaps because i have not been out with my camera a lot of recent, I will admit I did semi mess up with all the photos I have taken on my last couple of walks here and let me explain how.

On my camera there is a setting to shoot is APS C mode, which is a mode which shoot sonly using part of the sensor on a full frame camera, but is handy sometimes if you want to extend the range of a lens, for example if I was using as I was with these photos mu 50-400 lens its actually range is APS C mode would be 75 to 600 so it is a handy feature to have when you want even more range from a lens, but the down side is it doesn't use the full sensor and hence the file sizes are smaller.

I am not sure exactly how long I had it switched to that mode, perhaps when I was first testing out my new lens, or perhaps even before that when I was trying to get some shots of the moon with my big lens, I only noticed as I was editing these photos and switched it back to full frame mode now.

I used to check the setting pretty much every time before going out for a photo walk, I guess taking a break for a few weeks I got out of the habit.

Anyway back to what I meant to talk about some semi macro shots on a recent short walk

Starting with a few berries,

And a dandelion, I have many times bene out on walks and seen a dandelion in nice light but didn't have a lens suited to getting shots of it, having this new lens is handy for that.
THis shot didn't look that great in color but I like how it looked in Black and White
