I love the brightly colored peppers and squashes. Excellent composition and cropping. The contrast-y lighting on the asparagus photo is really cool! Thank you for sharing!

Those bright colors drew me in as well.

As did the lighting on the asparagus!

I gotta share!

Thanks again.

Very beautiful photos. I must admit I'm partial to the first one. I love red peppers, both visually and on my plate!

We're partial to them too. Of all the bell peppers, the ripe ones are the sweetest.

I bought six of them, and tomorrow I will stuff them and we'll eat them over several days!

Thanks for your kind words on all these crazy photos.

Thanks for stopping by!

It's an Olympus camera and probably does that automatically.

It makes shooting in macro quite easy. I appreciate it since I am quite new at this.

None of my lenses are legacy glass. Sounds as though you have a good system.

All of my lenses were under $150. Most were used, and manual focus lenses.

BTW, THE LUMIX 20mm 1.7 is a good lens for cheap. And so is their 25mm 1.7 and 14mm 2.5
