Getting Close Up and personal with flora & fauna
A few weeks ago I was able to go on a photography excursion to Victor, Idaho and Jackson, Wyoming. i had a blast and got some great shots from the trip. This post has a few examples of the great close up photography I was able to be a part of through the trip.
I was lucky enough to use a Tokina 100 mm macro lens to shoot my flora and fauna. I had a blast with it. I set up at my station with many different kinds of continuous lights and shot at ISO 200 and 1/60 at f2.8. I had to adjust my f-stop a few times to compensate for lighting but not much else changed besides that.
I have loved Macro photography ever since I learned about it and had a go at it about a year ago. It’s something that makes me look around and want to spend a lot of time talking photos and looking at them on the computer. I just love that I get to see things closer than I normally would get to, and from a different angle, especially nature.
Here are a few of my favorite photos. What do you think?

You really got this macro photography thing down! I really like the objects you used and the angles you captured them in. You did a great job on this assignment.
