That’s why my joy was even bigger when I left the office sooner today and the sun was still shining. I rushed back home, grabbed my equipment and went on a photo walk. I didn’t succeed in getting many insects in front of the lens, but still one particular fly turned out to be especially cooperative. For several minutes it kept posing so I had time to try different settings and perspectives.
I can hardly wait to go on my next macro photo stroll. 🙂
