About the Image(s)

One of my photography goals is to get better at macro, because I love to grow and photograph flowers. I have been trying for several years, and have not been improving. So in September I went all the way to Chicago to attend a week of macro at a photography school. This is one of my favorites from the week (I have never seen a praying mantis in Las Vegas, and I don’t think they exist here). We went to several gardens in Chicago to shoot flowers and insects. For post processing, I did some basic edits in Lightroom Classic, then sized the image in PS.

Sony Alpha 7rv. Tamron Macro 2.8, 90mm. ISO 640, F/8.0, 1/200 sec. Also used a flash.
