Hey folks.
Thought I would share some of my recent photos. I'm primarily interested in portrait photography but when I get the opportunity, I love shooting macro. I find it very relaxing, and without sounding too hippy-dippy, it has brought me closer to nature, in a very positive way.
Unlike many macro photographers, I never use a tripod, instead relying on one or two flashes, with various modifiers.
All pics taken with Nikon d750.

Microsorum Pustulatum Fern. Common in New Zealand and parts of Australia. Also known as "Kangaroo Fern" or "Hounds Tongue"
..........
Dahlia "Ferndale". Once a year in my local botanical gardens, there is a Dahlia festival. They're one of my favourite flowers.

Another Dahlia.

Ant. Before doing macro photography, I never noticed ants in every day life. They do however end up popping up everywhere, once you put that macro lens on. Fast little critters!

Anyway, thanks for looking! :)
If anyone would like to ask any questions about kit or technique, by all means please do.
