(via Captivating Mountain Newt: Emakaero’s Macro Photography)
Yesterday, we ventured into Grafenberg Forest for the first time with my new camera while walking our dog. Along the way, we encountered a newt sitting on a tree stump, which turned out to be the perfect subject for testing out the new Cygnustech diffuser.Luckily, he was sitting still, and I had plenty of time to photograph him from different angles.
