While in California we spent quite a bit of time with my husband’s aunt, seeing the sights, strolling on the beach, and simply visiting. When she found out I had an interest in photography and a Nikon camera, she loaned me an old macro lens that her husband had used, securing her spot as one of our best relatives ever. I was, of course, excited to give the lens a try, and headed out into a nearby redwood forest to get a few shots. While hubs went mountain biking I went for a walk. While the lens has its limitations — it is an SLR lens, and my camera does not recognize it unless it is in full manual mode — it works beautifully. I look forward to giving it even more practice.

Well done. If this is your result *without* practice, I can’t wait to see what you’ll do in the future.
