As some may know about me, I love to capture memories in photography. I will admit, auto mode has been my comfort zone and I haven't wanted to step out of it. However, I know to become a great photography I need to start using manual focus and I need to start learning now. But not only am I slowly learning that, I've learn to do macro photography and I am really having fun with it. I don't have a lot of extra time, but when I do get a chance to get out and do it, it's very peaceful for me and I highly enjoy it.
So I'd like to share some of my practice makes perfect. First, my macro photography. This was so neat to discover I could actually do this! Here are some that I've taken.
*WARNING those that do not like bugs, there are bug photos in these. You've been warned!

I'm not a fan of spiders, but since I'm practicing, they really are a joy to photograph!

So as you can see the macro is FUN! I've also just have been practicing doing manual focus as well. Here are some of them.

I had a squirrel who was very polite and decided to hang around for a few photos!
I dunno, can you tell I am loving my sunflowers?
So there is a tad bit of my photography that I'm slowly learning and teaching myself. I hope you enjoyed them, and I can't wait to share more with you in the future!
