In this crazy year of macro snow, rain and temperatures in the mid-atlantic region, I thought it was time to do some macro photography. Spotting some maturing butterfly milkweed plants in our conservation area, I assumed the prone position, belly-walked until I captured all of the delicate side-oats gramma at the top of the image, manually focused the camera and set it to f/22, and varied the shutter speed to achieve correct exposure.
What do you think of the result?
Norm
