Archive for the ‘Macro’ Category

Not much to shoot today so I decided to practice with macro a bit more and took a few shots of the dandelions in my neighbors yard. This is slightly cropped and processed in Topaz Adjust as well.

Since macro is so new to me and I really want to master this skill comments are definitely welcome… good and critical

Hope you have a wonderful evening… Take care..

Some weeds are just so pretty.

Working on my macro while on the riverbank the other day and I snapped this. This is SOTC with slight crop.
I didn’t see the ants on it until I opened it up on the computer.. I love surprises like that.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. It is suppose to be 95 and humid here both days but I am still hoping to get out for an hour or two with the camera.  Whatever you have planned.  Enjoy!!

I am trying to remember to always carry my camera with me. I am currently doing this about 75% of the time but really want to get to where I have it 90-95% of the time.  The photo below is an example of one reason why you want the camera handy (even if just outside your house).

It had just stopped raining as I was heading out of the house the other morning for work and because I had parked backwards in the driveway I had parked right next to the Daylily plants.  I just happened to glance down and though what a great picture they (the day lilies) would make with the raindrops on them when I remembered that I had my camera in my purse. Since I was heading out the door to work, if I had not had the camera in my bag I know 100% positively that I would not have gone back into the house to get it and would have missed out.

Straight out of  camera with slight crop to center.

I didn’t purposely angle this next one to be partially of the screen.  What happened was I was in a hurry and couldn’t get wet or muddy (heading to work remember) so kneeling down was not an option. I basically held the camera down and NOT looking through the view finder just clicked and moved it around a bit then clicked some more. When I opened it up I loved the result so I just cropped a bit from the top left and left it as is.

Before I go I do want to thank everyone again for the comments.  I enjoy waking up in the morning, or coming home from work and reading them.  Thanks for looking at today’s photos, have a great day and don’t forget to grab your camera when you leave the house.
