Morning Glory (Macro)

While out for a recent morning hike on the grounds of Fort Pickens Florida and only carrying the Sony ZV-1, I photographed this Morning Glory. This Macro handheld shot had camera settings of 1/400 sec at f/4 with ISO 125. It’s not my regular camera I use for doing Macro, but for just hiking with a light camera it’s definitely fun to have along.
