My new attempt at macro photography (PowerUp 100%)

I have already said that I have only recently started shooting in manual mode and trying different aperture and ISO settings. I read articles on the Internet and today I finally decided that it's time to try it. In the morning, it just rained: and the water drops on the grass or flowers will not fly away and will not run away, unlike insects) And, indeed, bumblebees were very hurriedly doing their work, pollinating flowers, only one fly was in no hurry, and I managed to photograph it. But this is all the insects for today. And I started with flowers.





For example, in the photo above - a petunia of a very deep purple color.





And this is not yet a blooming orange daylily flower.





And this red flower is called lychnis. I found it interesting that there is only one flower. Usually lychnis bloom in large inflorescences, often in the form of a ball.





And here is the fly. Of course, this is not the result I expected, but still today I managed to get closer to the subject of shooting than last time.





And at the end of the walk, my Nikon D80 and I made an interesting discovery. This is a wild apple tree and, as you can see, there are already fruits on it. Of course, they are not quite ripe yet, but they still appeared about a month ahead of schedule.





When they ripe, they will be slightly larger, but no more than 2-4 centimeters.





But not only wild apple trees gave us a surprise today. Due to the prolonged heat in St. Petersburg, gooseberries have riped - about 2 weeks earlier than usual.





No kidding: I ate a few berries - they were sweet. I hope those people who planted this bush are not very offended by me))


Thank you for stopping by and reading it
