PHOTOGRAPHY
The Fly… And More Macro Images
I’m always looking for something to capture with my macro lens
Scrolling through my photos, looking for macro photos, I came across an image of a fly. I edited it, scrolled on and… came across a photo of a fly… well, you get the picture… see what I did there?
Whenever we go out for a day and take our cameras, I always take my backpack with all my lenses in it. Mostly I start out with the 18–105mm lens, and depending on where we are, I sometimes change to my 18–300mm lens. But, I am forever looking for things I can capture with my 40mm macro lens. I really want another macro lens, but it’s almost a thousand euros, so I make do with what I have, and accept that not all images will be perfect.
Today, I’m sharing a handful of my macro images with you. For each I share, I took five to ten photos of the subject, because you never know when you take that one perfect image!
Green fly
In the same field where I captured the image above, but on a different day, this fly sat on this piece of grass, long enough for me to capture a couple of images. When I zoom in on this image, I see the details are not as I had it in mind, or my lens is just not strong enough to capture it, but I am quite happy with the result.
