Has the virus changed your photography? If so, how?

Dear Greg,

I know well what loosing a four legged buddy means. There is never a good time for one to go, but with what is going on in the world I cannot imagine a worse time? Take care and remember Maverick fondly.

I've been working from home since Saint Patrick's Day, and our dog has been a constant source of both amusement and frustration since then. I wouldn't want it any other way, for I'm gaining an insight into what he does for 60 hours out of the week when I am off to the office. He will however be crushed when I return to my normal working week schedule.

As far as photography goes, working from home has afforded me the ability to look out windows and see what is happening daily in our backyard. I've never had the ability to watch Spring unfold like I have had this year, and I am enjoying it immensely.

I've seen daffodils bloom, trees flower and bud, and all of the migratory birds make their way through our backyard. And I've done my best to steal a few minutes daily from watching and typing on the computer, to step outside and shoot pictures of the Spring rebirth.

Please everyone, take care and stay safe. This too shall pass.

Regards,

Tim Murphy

Since we're not able to get out like we used to, I'm doing a lot more table top photography at home. For a mere $11, I bought a set of close-up lenses. I haven't tried stacking lenses yet, but the +4 lens gets you pretty close already. I guess the subject here is somewhat appropriate for the times. ;)

Nikon FM2n, AI Nikkor 50mm f/1.8S, Hoya Close-Up +4, Ultrafine Xtreme 400, developed in LegacyPro L110 at 1:31 for 5.5 minutes.
