Messing about with the macro lens.

I still have absolutely no idea what I am doing with the new camera. I fiddle about with the settings and point,click and hope.

We had a couple of inches of snow up here the other day and because my children are grown up I didn’t have to go outside in it and freeze my tits off and pretend to enjoy myself as they pelted me with snowballs.

I could just open the kitchen door a tiny bit, aim the camera at a likely looking object and voila my work here is done.

Later on in the morning after Veronica had chastised me for not getting any decent photos, I went outside and had a bit of a play with the macro lens.

There is something about this photo that I like, I am not sure what it is but it makes me smile. To my friends in America and Europe may all your snowy days be as warm and dry as mine.

    Wow, snow! We’ll get ours in a few months. Doesn’t it dress things up like powdered-sugar frosting on the everyday world?

    I’ll leave the snow to you, Kim lol.

    Erghhhh Snow!!! See, now that is why I probably couldn’t live in Tasmania, you get that nasty cold white stuff. Love pictures of it but having been snowed in for days at a time in the UK I’m totally over the reality of it 😉

    I love the splash of blue in the first photo and the way the snow looks like frosting on cakes.

    The second photo? Hmmmm…………

    Ps I wouldn’t mind freezing my (.) (.) off to play in the snow.

    I really like snow – when I’m sitting inside in front of a roaring log fire (preferably in a pub).

    I love that second shot – it’s amazing.

    Snowy days being warm and dry though – I fear I have quite a few more years before that happens to me again, especially now I’ve joined the school run!

    *shivers* I’m cold already, photos of snow are NOT helping! I love the macro though… 🙂

    Oooooo. snow. Coming soon to an environment near you.

    Actually, nice shots, those. And the lovely thing about ‘digital’? You can play and play and learn and learn and it don’t cost nuthin’. Just erase it all and start over again. And lessons are instantaneous. You don’t have to wait for film to come back. How cool is that?

    Love the macro shot, Kim. I’ve only seen snow once and that was when we went to Perisher when I was a kid. My hubby is Scottish and is always telling me that I couldn’t handle “real snow” because I’m a wuss! lol
