Learning to Focus
This was my first time experimenting with Macro photography. I had a lot of fun focusing on tiny areas of objects.

The jar below is less than an inch high. I zoomed in on the tiny black key.

In this next photo, you can see the detail in the sand so clearly:

Using Water
While experimenting with Macro photography, I tried to capture water droplets. I love the way the water drops look on top of this peacock feather:

The yellow rose below was spritzed with a spray bottle of water. I love all the tiny water droplets, they almost make the rose look like it’s diamond encrusted.

I loved capturing one large droplet on the flowers in these next two photos:

I discovered that I really love taking macro photographs. It’s definitely something that I will be experimenting with more often.
