I was playing around with my old Olympus TG-3 and its cool macro modes and got this great shot of my Lamy Dialog CC and the new nib I bought for it that arrived today.
I tried to take a cool macro shot of this fly walking up and down on the inside of my livingroom window.
As it didn't stop and wait for any of my shots they were all bad.
I had to smack it over it's head and place it on the couch to make this photo. Poor thing

I went out on a little scouting mission, looking for CA Poppies.
There are a couple of spots in Amador County that have a great abundance of the Orange beauties :)
It's apparently not quite time yet, but getting close.
Decided to take a funky back road home & happened upon some fantastic little flowers & such growing on the side of a cliff. Made for some cool Macro shots!
I found the name of this particular variety on an internet site (no surprise).

My favorite part is that you can see Rez's eye inside the glasses. Today we drove all around KC with J's parents (cool folks!)...they showed me neat areas and neighborhoods and we all got our starbucks on at the Plaza before we ended up at the botanical gardens...just lovely, and Rez got some cool macros of so many of the flowers...
Taken at 100mm with an extension tube.
I burnt popcorn in the microwave yesterday. While throwing it away, I realized that if I could get past the smell, it would make a very cool macro project to test out some extension tubes that a friend loaned me.
Cone from an Australian pine. Small and awful to walk on barefoot. Picked it up and brought it home last time I was at Fort Desoto as I thought it was make a cool macro shot. Strobe on the right, silver reflector on the left.
Montana is full of grasshoppers in the summer. We would walk down the dirt road and they would hope all over the place. Mr. Rocks and I were lucky enough to create this cool macro shot of this handsome grasshopper. I would suggest going large to see all the detail in his armor.

"Crayon"
Week 37
This week's challenge was "Choose a Color." I had wanted to find several small crayons that were the same color, but different shades and do a cool macro style shot. Unfortunately, these giant baby safe crayons are the only kind I had in the house. I did use an external flash and complimentary colors to at least attempt to make it more interesting.

Two of my kids got those "grow a pet" eggs in their stockings from Santa Claus. They were so excited about it. They got to grow their own ducks. They have since hatched out of their eggs and are still growing a bit. They are currently covered in bubbles and I thought it would make for a really cool macro.
Day 89/365
Went to the Cherry Blossom Opening today at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. I had absolutely no idea what to expect, so I brought minimal gear figuring I'd end up with a few cool Macro Shots...
It ended up being an entirely different kind of event all together, First off it was absolutely packed... Secondly It was also Absolutely packed with photographers (Who all seemed to have very high end L Glass) and then out of no where there were People running around in Cosplay outfits, and traditional japanese garments.
I managed to catch these two girls in a much less populated area of the park, and grabbed a few quick frames.

A shot I took on a summers morning at the Botanical Gardens, Stockholm Sweden.
A hot humid morning, a little haze in the sky and there you have perfect conditions for cool macro images. As usual my images are more art than documentary shots, they are tropical in there nature and have a dreamy feel, with as always buckets of delicious Bokeh.
Techy stuff
Nikon D4 with a Nikkor 105mm micro lens and a 2x tele converter.
A small interlude with my Italian photostream.
I had this cool macro shot for a while and finally decided to flickr it.
Hope you'll like it :)
A cool macro shot of the penny covered bar at Mike's Bar. This is what boredom and a new digital camera does to you.
Happened upon this broken glass from a bus stop - and thought it might be a cool macro. You be the judge.
Day 50: Wow! 50 whole days of flickr photo-a-day!!! i'm enjoying this thoroughly, sometimes it feels like homework, other times it makes me think creatively. Sometimes it bothers me that i might repeat style of photos, other times i wanna try out the technique again. It's hit or miss, but the best part is i'm doing it for myself, so no matter what, i can't screw up!
Anyways, i took this cool macro of my girlfriend's cat's nose. I like the composition and DOF as well as the exposure.
...for the next few weeks. This is my friend's camera that I will be using to take her wedding photos with on her special day. Although this isn't a dSLR, it's got many features that are similar to one, and is my first time using an upscale digital camera.
My review thus far (haven't quite figured out all the features yet, but still experimenting):
Pros:
*LOVE the zoom! I think it's about 10.7x optical zoom, which is friggin' AMAZING! (ok, bear with me, I only have a 3x zoom on my camera, so this is pretty cool).
*macro AND super macro mode! (that's one of the features lacking on my camera that I am totally envious of and main reason for getting a dSLR. I simply love the dof and bokeh that dSLR creates!).
*image stabilization rocks!
*pretty small and light and still fits in my purse!
*goes up to iso1600!
Cons
*Perhaps it is because I am still unfamilar with what AF setting to use under different lightings, but with this camera, after you adjust the AF setting, you need to do a playback to see the image that you have captured.... as opposed to seeing what the setting looks like on the LCD screen before snapping the pic... (i guess it's similar to dSLRs in that aspect, but I find that quite inconvenient).
*the batteries run out fairly quickly if you keep needing to view the playback.
That's all that I think of it so far... I hope to be more familiar with it in time for the wedding!
