Getting up close and personal

Come closer for #SundayStills

This week #SundayStills is all about close up/macro photography.

How do you get close enough?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am not a ‘real’ photographer. I just like playing around and trying to get good shots that appeal to me. I am not technically minded and I’m not good at editing.

I have had a few shoots with my sister and her husband, who are very creative and technically adept photographers. I have picked up a lot of tips from them and always enjoy being with them and seeing how they work it all out.

I’m afraid I just like doing my own thing! These rose shots were taken late one afternoon with my camera and ‘borrowed’ macro lens.

I wanted to capture the ‘swirls’ inside the rose and I must say I’m quite happy with the end results.

I’ve also shared some other photos of my favourite flowers.

My purple rose

Well that was fun! I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have 🙂

Sunday Stills – what’s it all about?

Terri from Second Wind Leisure Perspectives, is the host of Sunday Stills and very generously offers a photo prompt each week on a Sunday! Like minded people can write a post, share a photo or two and see how others have interpreted the theme each week. It’s a fun way to engage with others and share photos with a wider audience.

And it sometimes makes you think – which is good for our brains as we age 🙂

I know I always enjoy seeing what others come up with for these weekly prompts 🙂

How about you?

What was your favourite photo?

I always love hearing your thoughts, so leave me a comment below!

Have a great week.

Deb 🙂
