For my contribution, a photo I took with my Canon 1200D, in 2015. I enjoyed testing my new macro lens so much, I was totally in love with it, and still is.
My first "gadget" was a microscope, when I was about 10 years old. When I think back, I'm sure that this microscope sowed the seeds for my love of macro photography - it opens up wonders that are hidden to the naked eye.
Have a blessed day.
