Landscape Photography in the time of Quarantine

Can’t leave the house? Missing beautiful landscapes? Grab a macro lens and scare that sourdough you’ve been nursing into shape. Time to explore the canyons and crevices of the landscapes closest to you.

Setup: Sony A7rIII with a Sony 35mm macro lens, a single strobe aimed at the ceiling. All photos are of a freshly baked loaf of bread. Because, well, quarantine.

If you’re looking for a macro lens that isn’t Sony, here are some Canon, Nikon, and Olympus, choices.
