Hello,
It's been awhile. With all that has happened in my home state of Minnesota over the last week, it is tempting to weigh in on the situation... but that's not what I'm here for.
The tulips didn't last long. They were done blooming in less than a week. Fortunately, I had time to get out and grab a few macro photos on breaks or after work.
This photo is from a couple weeks back. It was the first non-mosquito insect I saw this year. It was already getting late in the day and my old Canon 7D struggles with low light, so I was a bit surprised to see how well it came out.
As for the old 7D, stay tuned...
Dandelions are not my favorite flowers, but they do have a certain charm. With the right lighting and a good macro lens, even the ones at the end of their blooming cycle can become interesting subjects.
This little butterfly is the first I've been able to capture, this summer. It was feasting on these tiny flowers. With the breeze and butterfly's movements making the flower bend and twist, getting focus just right was a trick!
These appear to be some sort of gnats. Aside from getting in hair and landing on skin, they were relatively harmless. The same cannot be said for the few dozen mosquitos following me around.
Thank you for taking a look! If you enjoy my work, please click the upvote button. Comments are also greatly appreciated.
