June Beetle on Cacti Flower, Selby Botanical Garden, Sarasota
I have done very little macro photography but when we planned our visit to Selby Gardens, I thought it might be the perfect place to experiment. I didn’t take my tripod and I quickly discovered that it’s almost impossible to capture a sharp image without one when doing macro shots. But it was fun … learning and experimenting with the light and my camera settings but I’ve got a long way to go to capture good macro shots!
This was captured with my Nikon D810, 60mm, edited in Lightroom.

Pretty! I find I get better pics with my big lenses vs stock, when doing macro. But I am a total novice and I love hearing that camera click.

Great contrast. I like the shot. Tripods are a hassle at Selby and, like you, am always trying to get just the perfect shot without on.
