Comments (0) Here are some of my most recent macro photos with my new lens. They were taken at Todmorden Mills, in my backyard, and at Cottonwood Flats in the Don Valley. This new lens requires me to get much closer to objects, so I am still working on getting the focus just right!
Here are the hidden coloured gems of winter, found mostly on ground level.
Here are some photos from my first attempt at winter macro. It was minus 11 outside! These pictures were taken on December 29 when there was at least a bit of sunshine.
On December 30 the light was flat most of the time, making it extremely difficult to capture anything other than the inherent grayness and brownness of winter.
Here are some recent photos of a day-in-the-life of Shadow and her brother, Fletch.
We spent Saturday afternoon at Presqu’ile Provincial Park, which is less than one hour from our cottage. Located on Lake Ontario just south of Brighton, it is known as a birder’s paradise. Unfortunately for us the birds have moved on, however, we primarily went to revisit the marsh boardwalk we first experienced last summer. The pictures betray my amateur photographer’s status as many of them are taken in harsh afternoon sunlight leading to nasty shadows and flat texture.
September offers both new flowers and leftover pods.
Here are some pictures of my new cat, Shadow. Forgive me, I am very biased and think she is extremely cute. You will also see her big brother, Fletch.

I got bitten all over taking these simple photos. I’m not sure they were worth it, however. I did discover that my interest in macro photography is not primarily artistic – I have very little artistic ability. It’s more about using the macro lens as a microscope, to see the tiny details that are not visible to the naked eye.
