Pretty📷

Are these your photos? Really well done and serenely beautiful.

@maldavis Yes, they are. Thank you! I am a professional photographer when I'm not teaching 5th grade. :)

@camilio81 if you don't mind me asking. What type of camera are you shooting with? I assume you're using a macro lens.

@camilio81 I teach high school economics ( college prep, honors, and AP)

@maldavis I use a NikonD600, with a 50mm prime. I also sometimes use tube extensions, but I used the prime in this photo I believe. The tubes are cheap fun for experimenting. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to lenses. I generally only like Nikon or Sigma. Though I will say that there's a Zeiss macro that looks great too.

@maldavis Nice! Happy Teacher Appreciation week to you, fellow underappreciated, underpaid educator! Lol. I teach 5th grade Social Studies and English/ Language Arts/Writing.

@camilio81 I m p in graphic design and photography and a

@camilio81 something glitched. I majored in graphic design and photography and use canon. Nikons are excellent cameras and no better optics than german zeiss. Nice work.

@camilio81 thank you for what you do. My wife is an elementary music teacher.

Thank you @maldavis . My college minor was Art. My go to lens is a telephoto, but primes are so nice for still life and portraiture work. I'm eyeballing the Zeiss hard. Sounds like we have much in common.
