Many of us rely on finding theme-related images in our photo archives is we are unable to take new ones. The recent warm weather makes taking your camera out less appealing. But motivation is one thing about being a member of the photography interest group. You often push yourself to get out an take new photos.
I did both this month, relying on some recent photos from my 2023 trip to Japan, and a local photo ‘walk-about’. I’ve been wanting to do some macro photography using the focus shift feature of my camera. So I setup on some flora I spied when walking the dog. Like astrophotography, macro photography takes some practice especially when using focus-shift on windy afternoons. So like astrophotography, macro photography will be something I’ll do more to get better. The local walk-about was to an area of Oceanside where I thought I might find some color – wall murals are common near the beach. I loved that a few of the photos I shared were a little bit better because of happy accidents. A bright orange car and bicyclist riding by the Cafe 101 mural; the train reflecting between the algae mats at Buccaneer Beach Bridge.
