Notes
As an informal creativity prompt this week, I exclusively used my newest lens, the Canon RF100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM. Boy is there a learning curve! Here are my takeaways:
- I need to use a tripod for best results. Otherwise, every breath I take moves the camera around too much.
- I need more light... maybe consider some sort of ring flash?
- It takes surprisingly good photos of non-macro subjects, including portraits. The bokeh is dreamy, and it's honestly a pretty versatile lens!

There were a lot of snapshots this week. I feel I should generate ideas beforehand and plan my shots more thoroughly.
Stay tuned for week two--I'm going to swap lenses to the Canon RF28-70mm F2 L USM and see if I can capture something interesting.
This is week 1 (days 1 through 7) of The 100 Day Project, in which I commit to take and post a new photo from with my camera (not cellphone) every day. Follow my creative journey on via blog or Instagram.
