Photo of the Day: The Wizards Convene
Originally uploaded by algo. Taken with a Minolta A1.
Another amazing macro photo with an enhancing title to go along with it. The photographer who captured this extreme close-up of a tulip bud reported that the subject was on a window sill with direct, but weak, sunlight shining straight into the bloom.
“It looked stunning and irresistible,” the photographer said.
Macro photography can be tricky depending on the subject due to their slower shutter speed. A good macro camera lens is a must in any photographer’s equipment cache. A short macro telephoto lens (90-105mm) is great for portrait works and other close-ups. Try the longer macro telephoto lenses (180-200mm) for great close-up action shooting.

This was taken with the Minolta A1, which had a superb attached zoom lens with two macro settings, and this was the long one (200mm equivalent. I still miss that camera.
