I love Macro Photography. I took the above photo with my smart phone. It’s a photo of the zipper on my favorite purse. I did do a little editing with the Snapseed editing app I keep on my iPhone. It is one of those unplanned photographs that I end up liking more than the planned ones I’ve taken.
Even though today was a rainy day, we went for a drive with good friends and toured Kolob Canyons, which is in the more isolated northwestern section of Zion National Park. This section is less crowded than the main canyon, but as you can see in the above photo, there are spectacular views there as well.
I started photographing in color, but quickly changed back to monochrome. I really do like the look.
Later, back in Virgin Utah, where we are staying, I photographed this replica of a mining company. I was fascinated and took the photo below of the water sluice that was part of the display.
This is my third day taking photographs in monochrome and I’m still enjoying it, which surprises me, because generally I love bright colors. Tomorrow we are going to tour Zion National Park, and because of the red rock and blue skies, I will probably switch over to color. I’ll make that decision tomorrow when we reach the park.
