I’m running a bit behind, and running out of time so I’m combining these a bit. I spent some time working with a super macro lens and stacking. I need to look for some interesting really tiny things to make good use of this lens though, as even a Marmorated…
There’s a little known Nature Preserve just south of where I live called Boch Hollow. I haven’t been there in a while, but I signed up for a program to visit the permit portion of the park. We had a light snowfall the night before and I hadn’t been to…
