Lazy Sunday

The power was off since I returned from laundry this morning with a scheduled replacement of hydro poles down my street. I took this as an opportunity to go out with my camera, again. The weather is really nice here; however, the sun was quite harsh. And with all the pavement, it was hot. Dare I say too hot?

Moving right along.

Here are some images from the walk through the neighbourhood with my Olympus 60mm. I love the macro capability of this lens. It has truly given me a new perspective on the world around me. The 1:1 is really exciting, seeing the individual parts of the flowers is amazing! I’m still a novice with macro though. I have stopped down to f8.0 and even with the bright sunlight, the challenge is the wind and general camera steadiness! Probably better with a tripod and shutter release but I’m pleased with my handheld results thus far. I’ll keep working on it! Enjoy these as much as I did taking them!
