The Chicago Botanic Gardens offered an abstract photography class so I decided to enroll. Discovered that the best take away from this class was it pushed me to think outside the “box”. The above photo is a flower placed on a tree trunk mushroom ledge. With a little camera movement when the shot was taken, this was the result.

Both photos were taken with a Sony A6000 camera with a Canon 60mm Macro Lens and Neewer 10 mm extension tube; f/2.8; 1/125 sec; ISO-100
This summer I have really been focusing on flower photography using my Sony Lensbaby lens and a Canon Macro Lens on my Sony A6000. Today I decided to add a 10mm extension tube to get in a little closer. This was the result.

Thought I would try taking some more photographs with the Lensbaby Sol 45. This time I added a 16mm extension tube. It seemed to work really well. It was a little windy today so I set the shutter speed to 1/400 of a second and was surprised at how sharp the focal point was given the wind.
