I really enjoy taking photos of the small wonders in nature. Like these crowberries (Empetrum nigrum) that are remains from last summer.

Crowberries is a small evergreen shrub with edible black fruit. They are not used much here, but are getting more popular for making juice and wine.

      Cool. That’s a really nice photo. How close can you get with that macro lens? Also, do they really make wine and stuff out of crowberry?

      Nice work.

      Thanks Josef :)

      You can get very close with the lens. A bit too close for my taste since it’s 35mm.
      Wish I had a “longer” macro lens so I could be a bit away when taking shots of insects.

      Får lyst på krekling når jeg ser dette bildet. Brukte å spise det som barn, da smakte det godt.
      Jeg har hørt at de produserer krekling vin, men har aldri smakt det.
