My favourite summer 2021 Macro image

Here in Europe, we are in the tail end of my favourite season of the year and once again I find myself not wanting summer to end, wishing to delay autumn’s arrival - and please please don’t think to mention winter to me! I obviously have no influence over the passing of the seasons so, looking for positives, I remind myself that anemone season will soon be here and then there will be the imposing Mum Chrysanthemums. I’m not as fickle as I sound in terms of summer, I’m just ‘a glass is half full’ kind of person!

Summer has been particularly busy this year and I probably need a cold winter weekend by the fire to review the summer photos which have been hurriedly buried in my Lightroom catalogue.

For now though, I will share with you what I think is my favourite photo taken this summer. It was taken using a Lensbaby SOL 45mm lens which has a fixed aperture of f3.5. The lens has adjustable bokeh blades which contribute to the sense of movement in the background. I hope you like it.
