Don't you just LOVE high focus?

I do!
Playing some more with the Macro setting. There are these huge, HUGE lilies sitting in a vase in our kitchen, and I took a bunch of pictures and then cropped out the ugly background to leave the flower. OK, so it looks a little pink and froufrou and whatever, even though I'm not. But you all have to admit it's a pretty cool photo.

Butterflies!

OK, so, last week I FINALLY figured out where the Macro setting on my camera is. Just for all of you who don't know, the Macro setting is the one that enables the photographer to take pictures or close-ups of very small things and capture a lot of detail. So I was sitting at my desk, trying and trying to think if there was anything I could use it on, when I saw some pinned and framed butterflies sitting on my desk, ones I've used for decoration for a long time. I took one that had already fallen out of its frame once and separated the back from the frame, and then I took a picture of it. I was convinced the whole time that I was going to drop it or something and totally ruin the whole thing, which would have sucked - but I didn't. Voila.
