This week, Anne has a challenge for us: One Lens Walk.
I carry my macro lens when I take a walk in our local garden. I depend on this macro lens to capture the beauty of nature details.
Just one tiny water drop:
When I travel I carry my Panasonic Lumix Bridge Camera. It’s convenient and much lighter than the Canon 7-ii.
I’m happy with my iPhone clicks:
Here is a comparison of the two lenses, i-13 P (L) and Panasonic Lumix (R):

Thanks to Sophiaβs inspiring challenge last week. It was a wonderful experience to look back through your photos and interesting stories.
Next week, our new team member Donna of Wind Kisses will host the challenge. Be sure to visit her post.
Both you and Ann-Christine have shown me those tiny worlds are fun to explore in photography. I need to go back and revisit my early attempts at this genre. Nice work, Amy!
I love your macro photos and it was interesting to see the comparison between iPhone and Lumix bridge, especially as I use the latter. Do you ever taken macros with the Lumix? I find mine copes pretty well π
Just goes to show an accomplished photographer can take wonderful photos with any lens. With my love of macros, i should really a) practice with my lens and b) take it along with me on some of my walks. Love the drop shot but love all of them really.
Your macros are exquisite, Amy, as are all your images in this post! I love my Lumix and should use it more, but like your iPhone, my Samsung galaxy phone does an amazing job, too!
I love the first photo of the bud and at first glance thought it a peeking cactus. It is beautiful look at your macro capabilities, but the water droplet for the win. Wow. I also liked the way you compared the two photos at the end. Liked both, but there are definitely differences.
Thank you, Donna! It’s always a nice surprise to see the details through the macro lens. The quality of the iPhone is getting better and better, and fun to click. Thank you for showing us how to move the object of an iPhone image, love it!
You’d be lost without your macro, wouldn’t you, Amy? And I think beautiful drops of water are your Specialist Subject! As to your comparison shots: I liked them both. Each had a story to tell.
