For the last post of the year we have been asked to post some last chance photos. I think the idea is to post photos that you haven’t done for Lens-Artists this year, however, I decided to go with some photos from one of my last outings to take photos.
I went to Alowyn Gardens a couple of weeks ago to pick up my Christmas present and while there I also went around the gardens with my camera, macro lens and tripod. I know some of you know that I have been using my tripod a lot for my macro photography. I find I am getting a lot better results and sometimes I get things like bees. I have always photographed bees, but I got some great ones using the tripod.
Here are some of them.
As it is summer now, there are lots of flowers out right now. A great time to be a macro flower photographer here right now. These are just a few of the images I got that day.
It has been a great year, and I’ve enjoyed doing the Lens-Artists Challenge and am looking forward to next year as well. Though I will miss the first one, as I have something else planned. I’m not saying Merry Christmas or anything like that yet, I still have quite a few posts before that.
Also, it seemed appropriate to use macro photos for this last one of the year because when I look at my photos, I have taken something like 20 times more macro photos than anything else. I have over 60 folders full of images because I love getting out in my garden. I think next year I’m going to be posting a lot more of my macro photos, and I hope you will be there for them.
