Project 365, 2022 Week 29
Week 29, 2022, was full of macro work and a little experimentation. I usually use my Canon 100 2.8L macro lens whenever I’m wanting to photograph things close-up. But, this week I experimented with using the Lensbaby Sweet 35 with a 12 mm extension tube. I was pretty happy with most of the images that resulted. This combination gave me the up-close view I wanted and the slight blur that I like in my macro images.
Wildlife and hummingbirds are always favorite subjects, so I managed to photograph a few of those as well. While scouting for our upcoming Central California Coast photography workshop coming in February, I caught the sea otters hanging out in the harbor one early morning. Mostly they appeared pretty lazy, but there was a little ruckus over a favorite spot. Once that was sorted out, everyone went back to just hanging out. Afterwards, I headed down the coast and caught the amazing play of fog, coastline, and beautiful blue sky all coming together to make the most incredible landscape scene of the day.
“I tend to think of the act of photographing, generally speaking, as an adventure. My favorite thing is to go where I’ve never been.”
~ Diane Arbus
Once again the neighbor’s chicken was not particularly cooperative. But, I do think it found some nice light. And, the deer was somewhat illusive as well just hanging out in a cemetery.
It was a diverse week to say the least. Onward with Project 365, 2022.
Each day is an amazing adventure on the coast… or anywhere in nature. Get out there!

Somehow these postings for my Project 365 seem to have gotten away from me and I am so far behind. But, I decided to post a few each week until I’m caught up with shooting. Full disclosure - I did not finish this project. I began traveling and other things filled in the time that I would have been working on this. So, again, I’m clustering a few together in order to get caught up since I’m months behind in sharing.
