Since there is a possibility of heavy rain, thunderstorms and flash flooding today, exactly where right now is unknown. If there are thunderstorms in the area, I will try to track them down and do some photography. Meanwhile, I decided just to do a little bit of macro photography around my condo area. My thought was rather than creating images with a lot of depth of field, that I would use a large ISO which would give me a very shallow depth of field and see what I could create. I utilized Nikon D7100, Nikkor 105mm micro lens, handholding, with an f-stop 3.5 and a shutter speed of 1/4000, hopefully this should freeze the very slight motion that there was in the flowers. The ox-eye daisy had a number of different flies on them. There was a green bottle fly and a thick legged hover fly. I processed one of the daisy photos in the style of the impressionistic painters. So go out, think out-of-the-box and see what you can create.
