Macro Moments Challenge: Week 23

Week 23 of Macro Moments from Musin’ with Susan (https://musinwithsusan.com).   (https://musinwithsusan.com/2016/12/21/macro-moments-challenge-week-23/).  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.

Winter is here.

Macro Moments Challenge: Week 19

Week 10 of Macro Moments from Musin’ with Susan (https://musinwithsusan.com).   (https://musinwithsusan.com/2016/11/16/macro-moments-challenge-week-19-broaden-your-scope/).  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.

And a few additional instructions for this week:

“For this week’s challenge I am going to try something a little different. The theme of the challenge is, “Broaden Your Scope”. Some of you may not have considered using your macro lens for street, nature or portrait shooting, so this week you are challenged to use your macro lens for anything other than macro!  When you submit your entry, please include the name of the lens that you used and your settings.”

Ok, I know this isn’t really following the instructions, but I don’t have a macro lens for my DSLR – I usually use the Macro setting on my Point and Shoot or my iPhone app.  So, here you go.  The clarity is pretty cool!

This week there is a theme of “inanimate objects”, so neither plant nor animal.  I am cheating, well kind of.  I took this picture over the weekend with the Macro Challenge in mind, and while technically the object here is made up of what was once animals and plants, it is now inanimate…
