I have acres of Clover Fields near to home which the farmer uses as winter feed for the cows on his Dairy Farm.I have been making the most of them recently before they are cut.Such a beautiful place to walk my dogs, high on a hill with beautiful views :)
This is my entry for "macro Mondays" theme, "backlit". A small vice I found round my parents a while ago mounted on a small piece of plank. Ideal for those delicate jobs. This vice is small about the same size as a credit card.
Thanks for your faves and comments, HMM all :)
Negative against the light I did overexpose. Affinity software is no where near as good as my old Lightroom for raising shadows.
This cloud never achieved storm status but did produce some showers that were lit by the late day sun.
Picture of the Day
Snowshoe Hare - Every year these guys come out of the woods late afternoon to steal bird seeds at a public feeder. Some years we can count 9 to 10. I have only seen 4 this year. I always wanted to capture the light behind those wonderful ears but it never happened...Even though the sun angle was not low enough for what I wanted to achieve here, I am very happy anyway as I have tried to get this composition and the backlit to show the ears and fur for several years... but there is a lot that needs to happen to get that shot: 1) a sunny day 2) subject position and/or sun position 3) time of the day and finally time of the year for the sun angle... So I am satisfied right now but will still try again some sunny day.
I think this is a Golden Orb Weaver. One of the joys of living opposite Aussie bushland!
Female golden silk orb-weavers typically grow to sizes of about (body size, not including legspan) 1.5 – 2 inches. When legs are included, they regularly span more than half a foot. Males are usually around 2/3 smaller than the females.
The baboons were usually the first thing we saw each morning. They seemed to be everywhere, first day oh baboons can we stop? By third day it's just the baboons and we kept going. So taking them into the sun re-awakened interest from a different angle.

This Painted Lady Butterfly (Vanessa cardui) wings are backlit by the sun. The male and female both called Painted Lady?! This one's on the garden's New England asters (Aster novae-angliae) at head high with more asters in the background as bokeh. Beyond the bokeh, I love the tightly curled proboscis. I've edited this as I believe it's a "Painted lady" not an "American lady" butterfly. There's my ID lack of knowledge.
This begonia seemed to look best photographed from the backside with a ray of sun striking the front. I am not sure backlit is the right term, but I liked the look. Most of our flowers are past their prime but the begonias are going strong. I have had these begonias for a number of years and they do well with going dorment and then restarting them in the spring.

Still experimenting with the macro world's shallow DoF. On top of that, I tried to give this shot a distinct film look. Enjoy!

Bugs! While hiking in Wheatley Provincial park I was suddenly surrounded by hundreds of humming insects. A quick look around and i noticed midges all over sunlit leaves at the edge of the trail. The entire tree was covered with them. Luckily they were more interested in the sunny leaves than following me down the trail! I know you want to zoom in to see all the details!
I just liked how the morning light back lit that external elevator, paired with the foreground textures and details.
It was a cool and cloudy day so I had to work with an artificial light source. This purple tulip has been in my freezer for about a month and finally, it was the day to be photographed. I really love the way the leaves ended up in this panel. Each one of these panels is an individual work of art and I just hope to shoot them in a way that highlights the beauty.
