I’m really interested in the summer sun lately, especially as interpreted by my 50mm f/1.8. When I got my zoom lens earlier this year, I stopped taking out the prime on walks since it was so much easier to be able to zoom in and out with my 50-200mm. But I decided to change it up and go out with my prime and I remembered how wonderful it is with sunlight! I use that lens all the time for food photography, but I fell in love with it all over again when I took it outside. It’s just a reminder that I need to change things up every once in a while. It’s always nice to be surprised.
I was out on one my photowalks and I found a tree that was covered in butterflies and moths. I guess it had flowers that they like to eat or something? I don’t know, but I’ve never seen that many butterflies together in place before, it was amazing.
I’ve been taking pictures of these blackberries since May (and actually before, since I realized that these were Blackberry flowers) and I was finally able to pick them recently. Now I have a freezer full of blackberries and I just have to figure out what to do with them.
