This is an up-close shot of the back of a fig leaf hanging in our yard. I tried using two different lenses this week (my Canon RF50mm F1.8 STM macro lens and my Canon RF100-400mm F5.6-8 is USM zoom lens), and found I could actually get a closer shot with my zoom lens zoomed in all the way (still trying to figure out why that was). I also did start with my tripod, but struggled to get it just right when shooting up into a tree and I had to increase the shutterspeed anyways because there was a slight breeze. I definitely learned the difficulties of shooting up close - any movement at all and your no longer in focus, or framed how you intended. I do like how this turned out, though it was originally a little dark. I am most proud of my tight framing, especially with the left arm of the leaf just barely kissing the edge.

The weather this week was not the best for getting an outdoor silhouette so I did an indoor one. I placed this angel figurine in front of the window and I hung a piece of crinkled sheer fabric to disguise the light coming in from the window and the background. I edited the photo in the Distressed FX app to make the background a little better.
