When editing my photographs yesterday I noticed two images, one of the entire flower, and the other, a closeup of the inner part of this flower. To make absolute sure both images were of the same flower, I followed the lines on each photo. Why?
I did not take these photographs consciously with the thought, “OH, I want to show YOU how close I get with my macro”. It wasn’t anything like that. I just was in my zone, happily shooting and it wasn’t until I was in PS looking at my images that I noticed what I am about to show you.
Keep in mind, these are two separate images of the same flower. The only editing done was sharpening and resizing. NO cropping was done on either one. I was in error a few posts back stating that I cropped and sharpened my photos. What I meant was resizing NOT cropping, for I do very little of cropping.
Now for these photos I am about to show. Image number one is of the entire flower. Image number two is of the same flower but shooting an extremely closeup of the inner chamber of the same flower. I am doing this to give YOU an idea how small of an area I sometimes shoot. Amazing? I am amazed. So I know YOU will. ENJOY!!

The macro world is really amazing, right?
I used to move around in our backyard garden and crawl through the bushes to catch a small flower, a caterpillar or a butter fly.
The reward was always a sharp image.
Most of times, we misses the beauty hidden right in front of us.
It’s always great to see the world with a different perceptive 🙂

You are using the 60 mm for all your macro photos? I am looking into buying a lens I can use for close up photos and am debating what I need.
LikeLike
Yes, Anarette, I am using the 60mm only for my macro. When I photograph an entire flower, I use my zoom lens. I am also using a Canon 50D camera. I would highly recommend the 60mm lens. I am having so much success with it, as you can see. Let me know what you decide. (((HUGS))) Amy

Oh, Sue, you have no idea how I treasure your words. I had quite the challenging week last night with someone NOT believing who I am and what I stand for. How anyone cannot, is beyond me. It was very evident this person does not read my work, nor comes to my blog. The only reason this person came was due to my “sensual post”. But back and forth the conversation went until finally I almost gave up. It was then this person pointed out something that I had written unintentionally …. fast typing syndrome … and it was taken personally as I was demeaning this person. Anyways … long story short …. BLESS YOU for saying the words you just did to me. They brought solace to my Heart. (((HUGS))) Amy
