I wish I had my macro lens today

We have been away for a couple of days visiting my Sister in Norwich. I assumed that since she lives in a city the last thing I would need would be my macro kit so I only took my standard ‘takumar kit‘ with me. Unfortunately it turned out I was wrong as we went for a walk into the woods by her house and discovered there is a nature park next to the woods and a whole collection of small insects which I would have photographed if I’d brought my macro lens kit with me.

I managed to grab some low quality shots with the only semi-macro lens I had with me, a soligor c/d 28mm and I’ve vowed that when we next come I’ll bring the whole kit.

Unfortunately I didn’t manage to get a shot of a very interesting blue mayfly with black wings which was flying around in abundance – oh well, next time.
