Rose of Sharon
I used my 50mm lens for this one. I’ve been using it a lot lately, because I can get a nice, sharp focus with it. Then it was heavily cropped to get the macro effect. I have a 105mm and I love to take macros, but I’ve been having trouble getting good focus with the 105mm because with the longer focal length I’ve found I need a steadier hand, and I just can’t hold the camera still enough. And I’m very lazy when it comes to using a tripod! So I’ve been using the nifty fifty and cropping. I experimented with different apertures and liked this one using F/6.3 the best.
