Welcome to Macro Monday! I'm not sure how many of these I'll do per month - or if I'll move to a different day. Either way, I LOVE shooting macro and close-up photography so for now, let's go with, Macro Monday!
There's something fun about a macro lens at a single focal point. I can't adjust a prime lens with my hands. I have to get in there close to take the shot. For me, a prime lens is a more personal experience. I like that I have to zoom with my feet to get a detailed shot.
That's what I did here with the little white snowflake. I see this little snowflake hanging from the tree each day and I just love it. So after work, before getting to chores and meals, I broke out the macro lens and played.
So fun.
In other news, we're still loving the new couch. I'm writing from the snug now. It's just soooooo peaceful here to read, write, draw, game and watch movies. When we do move, we're for sure gonna have a space like this. All snuggly and fun.
And that my Boogerbutts is a wrap. I'll catch you on the flipside.
Huggs & Buggs, Me.
That's a very bright snowflake.
ReplyDeleteHowdy, River! It's a white snowflake playing with a purple nearby light. So fun. Happy Monday!
DeleteThe first time I ever took a macro shot I was totally fascinated by the detail. I was a fan from then on. This is a pretty snowflake.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm with you. I love also close-up photography and prime lenses. So fun. Thanks on the snowflake, it's a white decoration with a purple light near by.
DeleteWhat kind of macro do you enjoy shooting?
That is a really cool shot.
ReplyDeleteHey Alex! Thanks and Happy Monday!
DeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteGooooood Morning, Cheryl. Here's to a kickbutt new week!
DeleteLove it! This is a fun new feature on your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debra! And I love seeing all your art work. You're super duper talented.
DeleteThat is a great shot. I never think of doing macros…hmmm.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Marie. So much fun to shoot macro and other close-up things. Next week I have a leaf to share. Happy holidays!
DeleteGorgeous image. And I'm so glad the couch is a hit!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanie!
DeleteI like macro photography too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying that couch!
Hey Mari! Yes, it's so fun. Happy holidays!
Deletei have now been without a camera that accepts lens, and i miss the macro most of all. that is my favorite, details of tiny things. i knew the color came from the lights because bob requested blue lights on the little tree and even though blue is a 1 on my like scale i did it, every ornament on the tree appears to be blue. he loves it I do not. i have tried and tried to use the iphone 7 for macro, just can't get it to work. we need a new sofa, it is 20 plus years and leather, looks good but feel horrible. the stuffing is gone flat in all but two places and i want a big cuddly one to replace it and you know who does not
ReplyDeleteVery cool that you enjoy macro as well. It's just so fun to shoot and explore the tiny images.
DeleteLove that you gave him blue, that's sweet of you.
My phone has a macro setting (android), though it's not great either. I do have one of those external macro lens to attach to the camera as well as wide lens, though on the newer phone, they don't fit mine.
20 years plus is a long time. Will you get a new one if that one feels horrible? I got mine at Big Lots with a coupon. $440
That's a pretty snowflake. I think Macro Monday sounds good, so I'd keep it!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra! Thank you. Excited to share with you gals and Alex.
DeleteHappy to hear you are enjoying the new couch! I'd love to see a picture of it. I'm in the market for a new one. I'll probably go with a slipcovered one this time. I like having the option to wash it if needed.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia! Do you have a Big Lots near you? That's where we got ours, with a coupon, for $440. I do love the slipcover idea for washing too! And for holiday change-outs.
DeleteJust awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi Christine! Thank you!
DeleteBeautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debby!
DeleteSo very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you and Happy Walking!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy. Glad to read your hubby is on the mend.
DeleteI love that cool snowflake photo. Purple is great color for it. Happy new week.

DeleteYour snowflake photo is exquisite! So nice that you are enjoying your new couch.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, I'm at work now on break and excited to get home, shower, put on Christmas jammies and hit the couch for the night.
DeleteNow that is a wonderful way to end the day :)
DeleteIt is. It is simple and that is what I love!
DeleteDo you have holiday jammies?
Beautiful!
