Out in the rain

Courtney and I went out for a brief walk along the waterfront, and it really highlighted why I want a macro.

The weather was ugly, it was hard to harness the beauty of birds in flight when you're shooting seagulls against a grey sky...

But there is a much smaller world out there, that is very vibrant if you can find it.

I took this with my 55-250mm IS, or the nifty two-fifty...

It turned out quite well, but I can only imagine what I might have seen if I'd been shooting with a macro lens.
