Abstract Macro

The other day I was playing around with my 10X macro lens. Being new to the whole business, I found that there are some challenges to this whole macro shooting thing.

  • wind becomes very noticeable; even the lightest breeze starts to make one wish to swear like a sailor
  • lighting becomes a factor… harsh light is bad, cloudy overcast days are good
  • a tripod (or monopod) becomes a necessity, unless you can sit your camera on a nearby rock or something

Overall, I’m pleased with the abstract feeling these macro shots produced right from my front yard here in Mozambique.
