Tuesday Photo Challenge – Light
Here is Dutch Goes the Photo’s (https://dutchgoesthephoto.net) Tuesday photo Challenge. This week’s topic is: Light (https://dutchgoesthephoto.net/2016/08/23/tuesday-photo-challenge-light/).
“Go play with light, find some reflections, bright little spots filtering through leaves, or whatever catches your eye, and, most of all, have fun!!!”
I find it sometimes challenging to catch the sparkly light on the water, but I thought this one turned out pretty good.

Macro Moments Challenge: Week 10
Week 10 of Macro Moments from Musin’ with Susan (https://musinwithsusan.com). (https://musinwithsusan.com/2016/08/24/macro-moments-challenge-week-10/). Just to remind you (and me), here’s how the challenge works:
- Choose a favorite macro photo from the past week or from your archives.
- Add the photo to your post and a brief description. I would love to know, as I am sure others would, too, what camera and lens you used and your settings.
This week there is no theme. So, here you go!
iPhone6, Camera+ app, Macro setting, f/2.2, 1/50 sec exposure, ISO-32, focal length 4mm

I didn’t think about this as having an interesting texture as I was busy drinking it at the time, but looking back, it kind of does! And it’s very refreshing at the end of a long work day as well…
And now, this…
