A Day at Giverny with my D3 + 105mm VR


Decided to take a drive from Paris to Giverny on Sunday. Perfect sunny weather!

Only took my D3 + 105mm micro lens. Wanted to just walked around and travel light. Didn’t get to capture a lot of landscape shots with that lens. It was hard to take nice landscape with so many tourist everywhere. Decided to go close instead! Main focus was just flowers……Hardly travel with my micro lens…was a good day to use it.

Was really nice to see where Monet stayed and got his inspiration from…the area is a beautiful place…a little too crowded with tourist…but it was Sunday..was pretty enjoyable drive + day.

Always wanted to take bugs and flowers…so gave it a go!
Just walked around with the camera and lens…no tripod no flash…just natural lighting and steady hands!

Wanted to focus on the flowers…so cropped it 1×1 to get a square frame around to capture the attention on the flowers…added vignette to it to really focus on the colours….
