From Dandelions last week to roses this week. A red roses can also look good in black and white. I took this on a Canon G9 on a pocket tripod, in light from a window the vase was standing beside. “The best camera is the one you have with you.” rings true

I slowly followed a cute snail who just wanted eat a flower a few meters away, but I constantly took him back on his way to photograph him and he was looking at me as if he was saying “What are you looking at ?  I’m not famous guy, let me eat quietly” haha 🐌

Texture

Nikon D610 and Tamron 90mm Di SP Macro Lens – 1/250 @ f/7.1 – ISO 200

I wanted to show the detailed texture of these fern leaves so I decided to use the full frame sensor on the Nikon D610 to maximize the detail in the shadow areas.  Please note although the aperture is set to f/7.1 the depth of field is still very shallow when using any sort of macro or close up lens combined with a full frame sensor.  Just a little tip to keep in mind for when you go out and shoot macro.
