Hibiscus Stigma — Day 60
Macro photography is some of the most fun you’ll have with your camera and lens. Seeing the things of the world through the perspective of a macro lens reveals details and an adventure one can’t see with the human eye alone.
While many photographers like shooting with natural light, being able to control and create the conditions of excellent lighting nearly always enhance the photographic subject. In macro photography, it is virtually a law of nature that you’ll need lighting. Shooting at an ƒ16 or ƒ22 any creature that moves or a flower in the breeze will almost certainly give you a blurry or muddy photo.
March is a long month and lighting is an exercise I love to enjoy. Macro photography is also something one can do at home, in the wild, or in one’s own backyard. While I move onto April and into another favorite subject, architecture, I sadly leave behind a month of macro photography.
Shot on FujiFilm X-T5 with the Fujinon 80mm ƒ2.8 Macro lens.
