Photo Fun

Last weekend I took a walk along the river leven. I had my Nikon D300 and Nikorr 105mm Micro lens along with me for the walk. It’s really fun to take the macro lens out and snap some photos of the smaller things that surround us like insects and tree leaves. I used my D300 for the walk, instead of a film camera. When I’m out and about with no planned photos, I like the way that digital allows one to waste a few shots practising before getting the final shot just right. The use of digital also allows me to be lazy and use Autofocus – I know that I can try again if the autofocus didn’t quite nail the target first time.

Fortunately during this walk, the sun was low providing a nice low light in which to take some macro shots that show off the quality of the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 AF Micro lens. I wonder if I should have used supplemental flash lighting??
