I do have a dark side.
I don’t have a macro lens or a set of extension tubes.
It turns out I also have a lighter, brighter side which I though I would share today as part of Lucile’s Photo 101 Rehab.
None of these images have been edited, each are as shot. All were captured this afternoon, during a picnic in the woods with my son.
Part of an experiment to explore my lighter side.
