More learning over the past week in regards to my camera and macro settings. For this Perfectionist, the struggle is real in the learning curve. I took many photos, but few made the cut.
This Week’s Winner:
A million maple “helicopter’s” means a million baby maple trees are growing all over my yard. This is the true Yin and Yang of life – yes, they are fun to photograph, but the weeding…oy. However, this photo won the week because I think the colors are extraordinary. Not perfect, still lots of room for improvement, but to me it is a most pleasing photograph!
The Runner Up:
This just unfurling Dianthus caught my eye this photo of the dozen or so I took was the best. If only I had noticed when I was photographing it that the yellowish “dash” above the anther was a tiny bug! He might have been too small for my lens to capture, but it would have been fun to try!
Happy Monday everyone!
Very pretty Kat! I’m enjoying seeing everyone’s Macro Monday posts. Such details that are not captured in “normal” photos.
The colors in that little maple seedling are just gorgeous (a shawl in those colors would be lovely) and the Dianthus is so rich looking. Thanks for sharing.
This is so interesting. Are you using a phone or a camera?.
These are both great shots! It’s amazing the tiny details you can discover when you really look, isn’t it?
I love ’em all!
I love your first pick for this week, but it’s fun to see your progress as you learn!
I love how the water drops look.
I think I might actually like your runner up best – the colors and raindrops are spectacular!
Very pretty. Yes, a million maple helicopters – . . . are beautiful and work producing.
I agree with Carole – those pinks! …even with the tiny bug 😉
I agree with Carole too! Though they are all wonderful! And the helicopters…at one point this weekend it was like a dust storm of them!
It’s definitely a “maple” year! Crazy. I’ve been surprised more than once to notice a bug in a photograph that I hadn’t noticed when snapping the shutter!
