Macros & Close-ups 1: Morning Dew
Morning Dew
I’m starting this new series, Macros & Close-ups, which are, well, my macro and close-up shots of random things. Once the camera is in my hand, it becomes alive and it doesn’t stop at the big picture. Sometimes, when the big picture has become too commonplace, it’s nice to focus on details and be surprised at the beauty of things as seen up close and personal.
The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
Magic shot! I love macro work, but unfortunately I haven’t purchased a macro lens yet, but I will.

Good grief! This is superb! The reflection in the water drops is perfect. I see that you are equally good at macro photography. I am thrilled that you are going to show us your macros. What a treat! When you “like” something of mine, I take a second look! Yes, you’re that good. Thanks! 🙂
