Purple Stars

"Purple Stars"

One day shortly after I got my first camera, I was outside taking pictures of flowers in my garden. Since it was new, I wasn't entirely sure how all of the little gadgets on it worked. Somehow, without knowing, I managed to zoom in way too far while taking one of my snapshots. When I looked at the photo, although it was pretty much a scrap picture, I noticed a bit of detail in one small area that I was amazed at. I had no idea a camera could get that much detail! After that, I immersed myself in the art of Macro Photography. I still have plenty to learn, and I'm nowhere near perfect at it, but even so, I'm drawn to get as close as I can with as much detail as I can. Whether it be a flower, an insect, a rain drop or what have you, the feeling of knowing I can capture such a spectacle of a different world is intriguing to me. So here you have it. A Macro photo consisting of one of my garden flowers. I invite you to visit my site facebook.com/shaidphotography to see this, along with other photos I've taken. This is also available for sale at etsy.com/shop/shaidphotography.  Also, if you're really up to it, you can find me on Instagram as Smileygirl469.
