Macro Mondays Leaves only Leaves

A few weeks back I picked up two or three leaves from the capital pear trees in our driveway and decided to see what sort of shots I could get using a black cloth as background, a bit of desklamp lighting manipulation and a tweak or two of photo post-processing editing. This is a different shot from one I posted of the same leaf a few weeks ago.

In the background of the photograph you can see the fortified church of Santa María and the castle-lighthouse of Santa Ana. The latter is one of the few cases in which a lighthouse is located inside a castle.

Al fondo de la fotografía pueden observarse la iglesia fortificada de Santa María y el castillo-faro de Santa Ana. Este último es uno de los escasos casos en que un faro se encuentra ubicado en el interior de un castillo.

De bon matin, cette jolie huppe est venue me saluer parée de sa plus jolie coiffe .........

Je vous souhaite à toutes et tous, une très bonne soirée 😊

Natural light against dark background

Thank you very much for faves and comments!

When I finally got a clean shot at our visiting WCSP, it ended up being against a less interesting white background-- note that this is the same bird and perch as yesterday. I guess you can't have everything... Glendale, Missouri

I haven't had a kalanchoe quite like this one. New blooms keep appearing daily. I like using them for macro shots and am having fun experimenting with washi paper backgrounds. I like the way the buds showed up in this pic.

Please note that long lists of group invites will be vapourised.

Hello awesome Flickr People !!

Today is a yellow day at Color my World Daily and the theme at the fabulous *ღღ* Cosas de casa *ღღ Group, is white background.

So what is yellow, full of vitamins, goes great with gin & tonic and looks awesome on white background ? Lemon of course !!

I had this picture on my mind for quite some time now so when I heard the white background theme I was ready !

Well at least in my head, because capturing the picture that I actually like is surprisingly very time consuming (am I too obsessive ??? Am I a photography monster ?? I think we have something here.)… We all (yes, my family’s input is mandatory during the photo shoots !!) almost lost our minds with this one… Luckily we had gin & tonic for my husband and I and video games for my sons to calm down… So cheers my friends and I hope you like the result !

See you later my friends !!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr!!

Another from last year. The background is natural - just the early light falling on golden grass with the butterfly in my shadow and a tweak or two of the exposure.

Que le soleil est beau quand tout frais il se lève ,

Comme une explosion nous lançant son bonjour !

_Bienheureux celui-là qui glorieux qu'un rêve!

Je me souviens!... J 'ai vu tout,fleur,source,sillon,

Se pâmer sous son œil comme un cœur qui palpite....

_ Courons vers l'horizon ,il est tard, courons vite ,

Pour attraper au moins un oblique rayon !

BAUDELAIRE !

old bridge down by the mud (mud river) i have taken a lot of pictures from this bridge and now they have blocked it even for walking on. it is wildly warped and probably shouldn't be walked on.

Photographing signs is not the most original venture. In the background, a few lights from the skyscrapers in Frankfurt downtown can be seen. Just messing around.
