I have recently been exploring the use of my macro lens to focus on colour and form. To me it is about painting with photography. Here is an example.

Happy New Year!
For Christmas I received a macro lens. My New Years Resolution is to learn to use it…hopefully, eventually well.
In January I will be posting some macro photos as I take them. I imagine they won’t be perfect. I have already found the shallow DOF a challenge. It seems that without a macro specific flash I am struggling to get enough light to get the depth needed to focus on an entire object. Until I work that one out and put together a dodgy homemade reflector for my flash, I will just have to try to focus on parts of things. The light issue also means that even the images I think look sharp are in fact blurry on close inpection.
Sharpness = my ongoing obsession
