Looking through a camera lens gives one a different perspective on the world around us. It helps focus on things in a different way, zoning in on some aspect of our surroundings. For this I prefer a regular camera over a cell phone as looking through a view finder helps one to focus in better and frame the shot you really want. But sometimes there’s a bonus.

Here’s a flower I captured an image of yesterday in front or our house. It took some concentration to get the lighting and the framing the way I wanted it and it wasn’t until I saw it on the big screen that I saw the minuscule “guest” on the petal. Zooming in shows what appears to be some teeny, tiny little beetle. The first generation Olympus OM-D E-M1 with the Olympus 60mm Macro lens did a great job of catching the little guy as he went about his business. Or was he doing a photobomb? I can almost imagine him smiling for the camera!
