Week 32 of My Project 52 Photography Challenge: Green

NIKON 105 MACROWell, I have a confession to make: For week 32 of my Project 52 Photography Challenge theme of “Green”, I actually didn’t get a chance to take the image in week 32. We were preparing for our family’s first real camping trip, and between trying to pack what seemed like everything we own, along with trying to tie up the last bit of work stuff, I simply just had to accept that I was going to have to let this project slide a week. And you know what?, it’s okay! It was very fitting to be able to take a “green” image during our few days of camping, and so I took that as a little sign to just let it go and have fun with it the following week. And you know what? I did!

I finally upgraded my macro lens and it came just in time for our little camping trip. So, I was pretty excited to get some time in with my new lens and really test it out. I’ve also never been much of a nature or still life photographer, as I like to either document moments or really be able to work *with* my subjects. Nature photography has always seemed so difficult and uninspiring for me, so it was fun to push myself a little and dabble with photographing some nature. While I had fun photographing some nature, I have to say, I don’t think I’ll be switching focus anytime soon! However, I am looking forward to share more from our little camping trip, and my attempts at nature photography, with you later this week!

    Such a cool image for “green” week! And yay for upgrading your macro lens! I originally bought mine for images like this one (back before I shot weddings) so today’s post made me a little nostalgic remembering how much personal work I used to do! Love this!
