Macro Moments – Week 19 – Topic – Broaden Your Scope

This week Susan encouraged us to use our macro lens for a non-macro subject. I decided to go with a fall abstract on the lake. I usually take a few of these each fall and they all seem to turn out different. This was taken with the Canon 100mm at ISO 800, f6.3, 1/200 using the 7D II. If you would like to participate – here’s the link Musin’ with Susan Week 19

Macro Moments – Week 18

I took this in July. I don’t know the ID of the butterfly but it landed on our poke weed by the lake. It didn’t stay for long but I thought it had a pretty color. I used the 100mm macro and did some basic adjustments in Lightroom including using the radial filter.

My daughter was recently married in Hatteras. There is a bakery down there called the Orange Blossom which makes something called an Apple Ugly. These are “gut lunkers”. Both my daughter and her now husband are fans of these so they decided to turn them into a wedding cake of sorts. If you are ever in Buxton on Hatteras Island – you have to try one of these. Here is some additional info on the place
