OLI Photography

Still playing with the macro lens which is always fun.  This week’s assignment was around the house.  I tried my first idea which was about as exciting as watching paint dry.  Amazingly enough I bailed on that one and went outside.  There I found a multitude of cool things to shoot all of which being blown around in the seemingly gale forced wind.  So in an attempt to preserve the environment I ripped the branch off the tree and took pictures on a table.

For perspective the branch looking things are actually little pine needles.   Gotta love macro.

What did I learn:

1. Wind is REALLY hard to do macro in
2. At 1:1 you can see every single spot of dust on the lens
