Backyard Macros

I mentioned in the two posts last week, which were with the photo outings I had right before I left for Chicago back in October, that this week I’d focus on some backyard photos taken while I was home recovering. During this time I could not drive. I’m thankful for the friends and family that gave me a ride when needed. I’m especially thankful for my father-in-law, Joe, who gave me more rides than should be requested! Next week I’ll show photos from a ride my dad took me on. Below are links to my two posts from last week:

Both of these outings were fun. I especially thank the friends who invited me to wat the stars with them! The comet was a goal type moment for me. One I tried three different times to see but in true MG fashion I did see it at the last attempt!

Macro photography is the attempt at really close photos. I really don’t have much of a lens setup for macro photos but here’s my attempts at some macro/abstract photos while needing to move about my backyard…

*Dried sunflower head, this is one of the sunflowers I photographed birds on earlier this year.*

*Dried Zinnia, also a spot of previous photography*

Here’s a previous post.

Tomorrow I’ll post part one of my favorite setup for backyard photography during my recovery time. This will be a two part post with part two having something a bit different that caught me off guard! Let me just say I was not quick enough to get a good photo of the moment but it made for a neat day for sure.
