I remember when I bought my first Macro lens, I'd seen plenty of shots online that had spurred me into the purchase yet I'd never really had a good enough excuse to justify the expense. By the time I ordered my Macro I'd had a few ring shot requests at weddings that I just didn't feel I'd done properly. It's not a lens I use much at all, but I still love heading out for some good old Macro shots!

So lovely! One is just waiting for it to bloom...

Thanks :) I love how macros make things like this look!

Interesting picture, I stopped to think about what it was ... @skiesandsports

It's a flower bud :)

Nothing like a good Macro :)
What lens did you get?

Absolutely! I got the Canon 105mm, it's not the most versatile lens but when we need Macro details at weddings it's perfect, and not TOO expensive either!

By the way @ewkaw are you still involved with @qurator? If so I was trying to see if I could get my account reviewed by someone and I can't seem to manage it. For some reason I thought I saw that you were part of the team?

As long as it works and does the job ;)

Yea I am in Qurator, I can put your account for approval. I'll let you know here or on Discord if you are available there too.

Ah perfect, that would be awesome thanks, not on dischord yet, I need to look into it, I don’t know a lot about it (

Okay, I will let you know here then :)
Discord is pretty cool. But its not obligation.

Is it just a chat network?

Yes... with many servers. Qurator has one, I see Juliank has another one for his photocontests. You can join the ones you like. They are all separate and it is the fastest way to get support or answers or just chat with people.

Ok, it's all done. Now you send 2 sbd/steem to @qurator. After you receive a message back to your wallet, you are in :)
Welcome on board!

Great texture that compliments the macro. Side lighting brings out the little hairs on the stem. It's all about to happen. Wonderful image . Precious delicate flower shot, !!! Superb processing and delicious moment ... Just before the blooming burst ! My best compliments, dear friend !

Thank you so much @artizm :) I am hoping to post more of these over the weeks :)
