An American Goldfinch goes after a sunflower seed. In a field of sunflowers there are plenty to eat and lots of birds going after them. Still, it is a challenge to capture them with their undulating flight as they fly in and out so quickly!
I've always enjoyed plucking a Dandelion puff from the ground and watching the seeds fly through the air. However, after recently observing a small red House Finch in my garden, I'm ready to change my ways.
A tall Dandelion was waving gently in the breeze when suddenly the House Finch landed on the ground, holding the stem firmly in place. For the next several minutes I watched the tiny bird feast on the seeds.
I love those times that I learn new things by slowing down and really studying the world around me.

Macro Monday's and the theme of "My Closest".
With the aim this week of getting as close as we possibly can to a subject and showing either a ruler or graph paper in the shot I first located a small ruler and then I decided to use some Chia seeds bought from a local store and I poured a small amount onto a white plate.
Next I placed the ruler onto the plate and then poured more seeds onto the ruler.
After setting up my camera and focussing the Tamron 90mm ti it's closest focus I found a close-up filter and tried attaching it to the lens. It was just too small but I managed to keep it in place using Sellotape.
Then I spent a while trying to find a composition and in the end I settled on what you see here. This shows the 8cm marker on the ruler. The close-up filter has the effect of having to place the lens so much closer to the subject than usual and depth of field is very small, so much so that hardly anywhere is in sharp focus.even though I set the aperture much smaller than I normally would. The smaller aperture has even created some chromatic aberration around some of the seeds.
The use of the close-up filter got me in close enough so that the entire frame from top left to bottom right is about 2cm long.
there were a few helicopters in the garden a few weeks ago, had a bit of fun with this one, the veins were so distinct
This image showcases an acorn surrounded by twisted, intricate roots, creating a mystical and organic scene. The lighting casts dramatic shadows, emphasizing the detailed texture and the connection between the seed and its environment, symbolizing growth and the mysteries of nature.

Seed pods of a variety of Allamanda cathartica (Schottii), a yellow flowering creeper from my sub-tropical Gold Coast garden. The green seed pods are soft but gradually brown and harden. The spikes are needle sharp, believe me!
