Color photo. A cluster of purple verbena flowerlets, two of which at the top are cradling drops of water.

This past weekend Kenmore Camera had their Digital Expo. My friend, fellow photographer, and Sigma Ambassador Heather Larkin came to town for the event to do a macro presentation and photo walk. It’s always a pleasure to attend her classes and workshops, and I can’t recommend them enough. The photo walk was also going to be at the Bellevue Botanical Garden, which requires absolutely zero convincing for me to visit. 😛

We’d gotten rain the night before, so there were plenty of drops everywhere, adding visual interest.  It was a few hours very well spent, and good fodder for Macro Monday!

Gear: Nikon Z7 II, Nikon 105mm f2.8 G Micro

As always, if you’d like to buy a print of any of the photos in the post, leave a comment and I’ll add it to the print store.

Color photo. Macro photo of a small pine branch, growing into the frame from the right. It is covered in green pine needles, dotted everywhere with tiny drops of water. Thin lines of spider webbing connect many of the needle tips.
Color photo. A red twig, growing into the frame from the left. A small winged insect sits on top of the twig. The twig splits twice towards its end, and raindrops hang down from it.
Color photo. Three green leaves. The foremost is half in focus, and covered in beaded raindrops. The two other leaves are blurred, with more raindrops suggested on them.
