"Shed some light on me.
And hold me up in disbelief.
And shed some light on me.
And tell me something that I'll believe in."

An oldie, but one of my favourites. I have quite a few I have never posted to Flickr and I will be doing this more often.
Equipment:
· GlimpseCatcher Micro Controller
· Nikon D700 , Nikon Micro-Nikkor 105mm 1:2,8

Reminds me of a barely roasted marshmallow. No post-production. Cream colored flower...and soft light.
So much orange and yellow here. Makes me think of the stamens going back into the flower...like a hiding squid.

I'm quite pleased with this one. Simple, symmetrical and the best thing is the refractions in all the little droplets on the rim of the crown.
I have included an enlargement of the droplets in the first comment.
Speedlite 430 EXll at 1/64 power from the rear and Speedlite 580 EXll at 1/128 power, with a red gel, at 7:00 o'clock. Only water used in this one. Not much editing. Only cleaned up a couple of spots , a small sharpen and resized.
What the mind conjures up!! I find it so cool that you see so many things in these drops :-)
Have a great weekend.
I promised, so here's the first photo of my new series called "Colors of Life" :)
These are three dandelion seeds in water with three little droplets on top of them. I mixed food coloring with water for different colors of the drops.
The seeds were standing in a black baking sheet.
Just minimal Photoshop was done!
I hope you like it! Two more photos are coming up the next days :)

Dew drops on blades of grass.
I love this image so much and I'm not saying this often because of my
perfectionism.
It's dedicated to a very special person:
If you were still alive, I would give all of my photos to you.
But I'm not able to do that anymore.

It's been so hot lately, I decided to shoot a few splashes where it was nice and cool in the basement.
The wild snake's head fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris) belongs to the lily family. These flowers feature a distinctive checkered pattern in deep red and purple and hang like small bells from their stems. Occasionally, a white variant, known as the Zwolse tulip, appears among the purple flowers.
De wilde kievietsbloem (Fritillaria meleagris) behoort tot de leliefamilie. Deze bloemen hebben een karakteristiek geblokt patroon in dieprood en paars en hangen als kleine klokjes aan hun stelen. Af en toe verschijnt er tussen de paarse bloemen ook een witte variant, bekend als de Zwolse tulp.

This is the interior ring of a sunflower. My goal was show the texture at the end of each stamen as the primary focus of the shot. Normally, this can be done using a cooler light to draw out detail. But that would take away the rich color of the flower. So I used a few light sources in different locations running different color temps. Pretty happy with the result. Amazing what is found inside a sunflower. The geometry and detail is striking.
I rarely use Photoshop other than to adjust exposure in the RAW editor. No recoloring, painting, cloning, or anything else was used in this pic. The flower is beautiful and interesting enough to stand on its own.
