After getting a much nicer D-SLR camera, I realized a feature that had been on my more simple point-and-shoot camera. I am very happy to have the new D-SLR, but I am also happy to know that one type of picture I was always struggling to get with my point-and-shoot is not so hard after all!
There is a macro setting that basically instructs the camera to use a shorter focal length to focus on a nearby object in the foreground.
I like using this feature to get detailed shots of blooms or different features of plants. So here's a look at some of the blooms from my last post - only in macro!
