An Ode to Winter with a Macro Lens

Still testing my new Nikon camera, this time with a macro lens Nikkor Z 105mm f/2.8.

Love this prime lens for its versatility. It’s very sharp and produces really beautiful portraits with a swirly bokeh. I can capture a dog running at me at full speed or a bird taking off from a tree branch or a feeder.

Having switched to the macro mode, I can fill the whole frame with a close up of a water droplet frozen mid-flight from a tree leaf at f/18, still hand holding the camera.

All this beauty was captured last week and now the Winter Wonderland has melted away and Spring is in the air. Can’t wait for the cherry blossom!

If you would like to lend me your dog to test this camera’s boundaries, please reach out. :-)
