While venturing down the stairs to Websters Falls I dropped my Manfrotto Tripod and myself and Mark watched it bounce down the stairs barely missing Kerry's head by inches. In the end the tripod was ruined and I had no option but to go out and look for some cool Macros.
While putting on my macro lens, I closed my camera bag, and under the flap of my bag, I found this little guy just hanging around waiting in this perfect pose for me.
Just experimenting with fdFlickerToys!

While searching my neighbor's flower beds for spring shots (yes, I asked if I could), I discovered her giant "Hens and Chicks". I was going for a cool macro shot, but the lighting wasn't that good, so I decided to play with photoshop. This hen and chick plant has been stylized with "sumi-e".

Not even gravity can stop this grasshopper from levitating just above my camera.
Okay, I understand that inquiring minds want to know how this shot was achieved. I was working out inside the YMCA and I noticed there was a grasshopper crawling around on the outside of the window. So, I pulled out my pocket camera and cautiously approached. Once I realized it couldn't see my pocket camera though the tinted window, I had multiple opportunities to get some cool macro shots of this hopper.
I have some more shots, but this one is probably the most interesting. I may post a few more in the future. I'm glad there weren't too many people working out at the Y that day. They probably thought I was crazy.

Shot with my Olympus TG-1 using the setting: Super LED Macro mode. It's a very cool macro mode and I really like the ability to light up the motif with the LED-light.

Slide the entire thing inside the can and then try taking a pic. If the lens is level with the body cap it will make a cool macro. If it is not level, level it and then tape the top (lens side) so it doesn't move. If it was not level when you made it you will get a "Tilt Lens" effect where only the center is in total focus. See the rest of the Macro pics to see what I mean. The pics I took of the flies did NOT have the lens quite right and it was after I was done shooting them that I realized my mistake.
