I spent New Year's Eve and Day in San Francisco with my boyfriend, and finally got to have a proper photo session with the new macro lens that he bought me for Christmas!! 😍 Here are some of my favorite photos. I really enjoyed the architecture in the area, and had a lot of fun exploring just a two block radius while waiting for breakfast.
I am just starting to learn how to use the lens, and I can tell that it's already making me a better photographer because I have to really put more thought and energy into each shot and move around a lot to get it right.
There were some shots I wanted to take that I couldn't accomplish, just because they were so closeup, so it will take some getting used to. Any tips from fellow photographers out there? 😉
We also ended up walking across the Golden Gate bridge at sunset! There was a group of volunteers called Bridgewatch Angels who try to help anyone in distress on the bridge, and they were all so friendly and waving and wishing everyone a Happy New Year. It was good exercise and a great end to the day! Hope you all have a peaceful, happy 2018.
