In Yellowstone a couple of weeks ago, I had a chance to use my new Nikkor Z24-70 f/2.8 S II lens as a macro lens. While it is not a true macro lens, it has great close-focusing capabilities that allow for closeup shots so I tried it out in a small meadow near Soda Butte, where there were lots of flowers but what caught my eye was a kind of brome, a weed that, depending on the species, is either native or invasive. I have no idea which this is. I like the ice crystals on the seed pods. There was a slight breeze and as is often the case with outdoor macro photography, it was almost impossible to keep the subject from moving. This was the best shot I got. I didn’t use a tripod and I didn’t do focus stacking which I think might have helped. The depth of focus is quite narrow and only a few of the seed pods are in sharp focus. This is something I’ll have to work on.
