Playing With Macro

While cleaning my cabinet I came across my freebie phone lens kit from Kitkat. One lens was a macro lens. By far this is my favourite lens. It opened a whole new world of insects and other tiny things for me. Here’s a photo of a grasshopper on our sliding door. His background were the colourful cushion pillows we were airing out. It looks magical.

I don’t think grasshoppers bite but I’ll keep that in mind with spiders

@mrki444 I’m mote scared of bees than spiders. I don’t think I’ll do a macro on bees. Too scary.

It does look magical. A macro lens would be a lot of fun.

Yes Judy! I feel like I’ve discovered an entirely different universe of insects. Insect eyes are cute.

@JudyEv I hope I’ll reach a level where I can take photos of frequently moving insects with more colours too. They are easy to take photos when they are still but when they are on the move it can be exhausting.

@flapiz Some of the colours are incredible. A friend of Vince's puts up lots of photos on FB all of insects. Such beauty is a bit wasted when few people can enjoy it.

That is an awesome shot of a grasshopper! I love the colorful background! How does that lens work? Do you just attach it to your phone somehow? I would love to have a lens like that!

Thank you. It’s my first time to use macro lens. My hands are too shaky so I was happy to have a decent shot.

You've got a nice photo. I love to take pictures too but can't seem to get nice shots.

Keep on practising you’ll get it eventually. A good phone camera or lens helps too.
