One of the most frustrating things about my camera is that the images it captures are never sharp enough. By “sharp enough” I mean my eyes sees them sharper! So last week I bought a super macro lens called Raynox DCR-250, and I think it improved my close up pictures dramatically. This can best be seen in the lower navy/purple marker (beside the black marker). The details (sharpness) on that marker, and a couple others, are amazing. I even uploaded the original image just in case you are interested in seeing it in its original full size.
For a price of $54 I think the Raynox DCR-250 is a very good lens in that it is very sharp, however its depth of field is paper thin: anything beyond or closer than that imaginary line is a blur. This is not completely a bad thing if you want everything else except what you are focusing on to be a blur, but that means it is almost impossible to use without a tripod, and forget about using it if it is windy outside! (Unless you have a very good friend who is willing to hold a tree branch for you! LOL!) I think I am keeping this lens. I have a feeling it will come in very handy in the future.
I was aiming for a shot like those used in stock images which I really like because they are so simple and right to the point! I hope I achieved that :)
PS: I must admit, those markers are the best $1 I’ve spent in my life!

This guy is a true master at shooting bubbles in the wild, check out his photos, they are amazing.
He recently upped the bar and started shooting bubbles in mid burst. This really takes it to the next level of difficulty. I haven't taken any good ones yet, But I think the results are still kind of interesting. This is the right rear portion of the bubble, I thought it was weird how it was almost rectangular.

This is a Magic or exploding box, I made for a wedding my cousin is going to. She is giving the couple a cheque so I came up with this to hold the check. There are a few variations of this kind of box, I kind of mixed a few ideas together and here it is. I've added a LOT of photos to try and show all the details and angles.
I started by cutting the box and lid. I cut the inside and outside panels in cream CS, I ran them through the CB, and added pearls and punched flowers. I heat embossed the butterflies on acetate and filled in the wings with Stickles. I heat embossed the gold CS with the dots stamp using a glitter embossing powder.

How do I get this onto my iPhone?
There are a number of ways to do this, however I think the easiest and fastest way is to download Flickr’s free app. Within the Flickr app you surf over to my photo feed to view the images (if you make me a contact then I’ll appear in the flickr contact list). When you find one you like, just click the download button and save the image directly to your phone. Quick & Simple!
I don’t have an iPhone. Can I still use it on my phone?
As of this writing this image (960 x 640) should be large enough to be used as wallpaper with the Droid / Android, BlackBerry, Windows 7, and iPhone.
How did you make it?
This background was made using graphic design software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Filter Forge, Genetica, Wacom, Alien Skin, Topaz Labs, as well as several other programs.

Cake done at my first PC course! Got a bit excited with colours hence the technicolour. It reminds me of a jester! Probably would've been nicer with just 2 or 3 shades of the 1 colour.
I put a slice of kiwi in front of a light bulb and took this picture. Taken with a reversed Sigma 24-70 lens.
Went out and had a bit of a play tonight. Experimented with some firecrackers I've had for a while. I've never shot fireworks before and I didn't really know what the ones I had would do or how they'd look. It was a nice surprise 😃😎
Ecballium elaterium, also called the squirting cucumber or exploding cucumber, is a plant in the cucumber family. It gets its unusual name from the fact that, when ripe, it squirts a stream of mucilaginous liquid containing its seeds, which can be seen with the naked eye. It is thus considered to have rapid plant movement.
It is native to Europe, northern Africa, and temperate areas of Asia. It is grown as an ornamental plant elsewhere, and in some places it has naturalized
Ecballium elaterium ( cocomero asinino) è una cucurbitacea assai particolare: all'interno dei suoi frutti si sviluppa una pressione idraulica notevole che serve a "sparare" i semi il più lontano possibile. I piccioli dei frutti funzionano come tappi che, quando il frutto è maturo, al minimo tocco lasciano fuoriuscire liquido e semi. Non si conosce altra specie vegetale che sia in grado di uguagliare questo sistema di dispersione dei semi.
Ecballium elaterium è una pianta endemica nel bacino del Mediterraneo. Sin dall'antichità dai suoi frutti si è ricavato un rimedio utilizzato nella medicina e nella veterinaria popolare.

I'm in the middle of a month-long monster marathon of backing up files, exporting LR catalogs, cleaning out jobs, and generally trying to get my filing system back in order. So when I came across this one right now, well, I just had to share...outside of having me laughing on my ass, this pretty much sums up the state of my machine, backup drives and general mood right now...ready to explode! I'm sure you've figured this out from all the photos I've been posting from the archives over the past few weeks and I'll let you know right now, there are more to come. Happy Monday folks! May your files all be orderly and your backup drives nice and tight!
We took several shots of Anni blowing on the flour and although the flour looked great, all the effort of Anni's expression as she blew hard, wasn't the right 'look'. So, I found this test shot taken earlier and matted in the flour from a later shot.
There is a small portable strobe set to low power directly behind Anni, a low powered strobe to cam left with a blue gel and set back picking up the flour and a large softbox camera left.

Merry Christmas everyone!! I had no time today so I took this and it was inspired by Atmoic Turquoise. I really miss my mustang but she'll be off the road for a while still due to vandalism. Hope everyone had a happy holiday!!
