Blue bells are small brightly colored flowers which are pretty
much synonymous with spring, and they've started blooming ever
since a week ago when the weather began warming up. I biked
around Winnetka looking for wild flowers to try out macro
photography and passed by Bell Woods; a small plot of forest on
Tower Road that's full of blue bells.
I got a bunch of camera equipment for my birthday on Tuesday,
which included several different macro lens extensions.
I used two extensions that were screwed onto my standard
18-55mm lens which allowed me to take closer than usual pictures
of the flowers: a "super macro lens" and a 4x macro magnifier. After trying
out macro photography, I have to say that it's pretty fun and the
results look great (although a bit blurry at times and if used
with a wide angle can create a black barrel around the photo).
