The edge of a laurel leaf using my lens baby.

This shot is the result of reverse mounting a Minolta 50mm f/1.7 lens on my 5D.

In between the camera and lens was a Canon to Pentax mount converter attached to a Pentax mount to 49mm reverse mount adapter. Complicated, but fun...

Leaf + Rain is this.

Cheers.

Such a precise leaf skeleton taken over the all too well known pig fern that swarms all over the Otaki gorge. Each one is so unique!!

pick in fall & place in home or car & it will give off the scent of vanilla ...

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Spent yesterday morning at the Huntington Gardens with a macro lens to see what I could capture. Decided to try to capture close-up textures.

"Ces coccinelles marchent à côté.

Oui, il paraît qu'elles s'aiment.

Celle-ci aime à parler,

Celle-là aime à penser.

Inimitables pois verts, goût du voyage,

Nul ne sait ce qui les fait s'aimer!

Et pourtant, elles partagent paisiblement ces feuillages,

Liant leurs sorts avec bonheur,

Laissant libre court à leur bonne humeur!

Entendez-vous leurs coeurs chanter ?

Sans toi je suis perdue, sans toi je ne suis plus!"

I was playing around in my Aunt's garden up in Mossel Bay testing out my recently acquired Macro lens. This is an image of little leaf on my Aunt's fig tree...

We had ice.

Esta es una hoja con la cara de un Buda feliz porque siempre me han dado risa esos gorditos cachetones budas felices.

Aunque de feliz no estoy nada, que hoy me han bajado a la tierra después de haber pasado en las nubes mucho tiempo ¡y de qué forma! Tengo trabajos y trabajos y más trabajos, y 3 semanas para terminarlos *-* estresante!

I am so excited about the impending autumn. Colours are changing, light is soft and the air has a chill (ok, in Wales, that bit is the same as summer).

My Mother-In-Law and Wife thought this looked like a picture of the world from the sky, so that's why it's called the "coast line".
