So a few days ago I was all geeked up about slapping my Nikkor 60 Micro lens on my Nikon FE and taking it out for some macro fun in the sun. Loaded with 36 exposures I thought I will make sure to carefully compose all shots and make em good ones.

Well I did just that!

Unfortunately for me, I didn’t use all 36 exposures so I thought I’ll just change out lenses back to the 50mm and put the camera away for another day of shooting.

Well I found out that I screwed the whole roll when I switched out the lens and overexposed everything

What a Maroon!

Well I’m determined to get out and take some macros but I’m not going to make that mistake again, cause this time lo and behold I dug out my beautiful little Pentax K1000 and guess what it came with a nice set of Marumi Macro Filters that I had tucked away and forgotten about.

Now I can simply slap these on without having to change out the lens and not loose any film

I’m super happy and relieved at the same time!

The sun is shining, spring is in full bloom and the bugs are awake so its time to dust off the macro lens and discover tiny Earth once again.

We keep getting mixed weather patterns here in the PNW, some morning’s its way to warm for this time of the year and then you get frost like this morning. (See shot below)

I’m hoping it will be that way tomorrow morning as I’m planning on shooting with the Nikon FE and Micro Nikkor 60mm 1:2.8G ED to experiment with film macro shots.

Taken this morning after the rain came and went, our garden is just starting out so not many flowers but I managed to catch a glimpse of this one.
