It's me again, Robert, and I am also a hobby photographer.
I have been an avid web engineer for the past 20+ years, so pretty much a shut-in, but lately I have discovered photography, as a hobby, and now I cannot wait to go outside and capture some of that beauty our nature offers us.
My gear, at the moment, is comprised of a CanonEOS 2000D camera, a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens, also known as a "nifty-fifty", a Canon EF 15-85mm kit lens, and a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM.
At times I might use a backup phone, like Samsung Galaxy S9 or an iPhone 15 Max, with an Apexel Microscope Lens to get really close.
