More macro fun with the amaryllis! This is why I love macro photography - isn't it crazy the details you see at life-size magnification that you don't even see with your eyes?
Away for a couple of weeks for a very much needed holiday. Its been a tough old year so far with my husbands and my health problems and 5 grandchildren to keep us busy. My new hip seems so have taken a while to get me moving back to normal but all is better now so ready for a well deserved break in the sunshine - she said fingers crossed :-) Take care everyone and hopefully I will be back soon.

Presby Iris Garden, Montclair, NJ.
I've fixed it so the large (and original) size is available on all the recent iris shots. I urge you to pick at least one and check it out. It's why I love macro so much, there really is another world in there that you can not see in the small version of the shots and definately not see with the naked eye.
Happy New Year!
I'm excited to participate in Project 365 again for the second time after last year. I'm including this photo in the first week's introductions because it's a setup I explored last year in a different group: 100x. I chose to shoot 100 photos "in studio" on my office work table, a setup I much enjoyed and expect to continue using. I love macro photography and have been practicing it for years, but mostly only outdoors until 2022. I'm participating in 100x again in 2023, too. However, the project is much different this time, and will not include any studio photos.
Project 365, 2023 Edition: Day 1/365
Them of the week: Introduce yourself
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
since i love macro, most of the practicing i did yesterday was in that mode, as close as i could get. i may take the G10 out today and see how it does with distance. my beloved 870 can't do distance shots worth a darn, but its macros are wonderful.
Nature is so amazing. To most, including myself, clover is something to just mow over but this macro shot shows just how beautiful the flowers really are. Another reason I love macro, for the world it reveals.
It’s knowledge that takes photograph, not the equipment. I used to see immense number of cell phone photography especially I would like to say about macro photography. I’m simply blown away with their creativity. The macro images they produce are always trying to convince me to adopt a Smartphone. Smartphone photography keeps ranting on digital SLR camera photography when they're both totally different things. May be the convenience factor is definitely a deciding factor for most people having high end Smartphone. I do agree that that hyper-convenient camera already exist and it's the Smartphone. This is the time where mobile phones are entirely dominating the macro world and celebrating their triumph over DSLR.
But keeping aside the discussion of sensor size or aperture, RAW or JPEG, I want to say that I am a man from analogue age! I couldn’t able to choose the way through Smartphone whatever convenience it produces. Because I feel that there is a distinct border between a convenient and serious pursuing of photography. If artificial intelligence does everything for the photographers then how can you evaluate creativity or artistry? So I choose to shoot manual while it is still possible.
But I repeat again its knowledge that takes photograph, not the equipment.
The grass sends up seed heads to drop them into the ground for next year's renewal growth.
Morning light...and dew...my favorite part of September are the heavy dewy mornings.

today was quite possibly a perfect day. met up with amit and emma and melissa for a mini flickr meet up at the japanese gardens in golden gate park...i am starting to love macro photography, alot...
This is an image of an iris in my garden, taken in May. We don’t have many irises but last year we bought some bulbs of this type and planted them in a pot. They’re very pretty.
I've taken the photo from above with a very shallow depth of focus on the fall petal to render it as an abstract mainly about colour and curves.
This is one for the Wednesday Macro group. One of the nice things about the genre is you get to play with familiar sights in more puzzling and intriguing ways. I love macros that others do where I have to guess what they are…
The usual culprits were used in the processing (Capture One then Affinity with Nik Color Efex, the latter for vignettes, selective local contrast and tonal management. Topaz AI DeNoise played a part and that tends to be the main tool I use for reducing grain after sharpening).
I seem to have taken a lot of flowers this year. I’ll have to process some and share them when I have a moment.
I hope you are having a good summer!
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Mittwochsmakro :)
A sazzy camera (bracelet charm) and a beautiful tiny grass flower, best friends. Love macro photography, it's my hobby and the perfect way to relaxation for my mind, soul and body.
Sorry I haven't been here like I wanted, but I have been very busy working. Hope I can catch with you tonight, if possible.
One of my resolutions for the year is to become better at using my Nikon 105mm macro lens. I love macro photos, and this lens is capable of beautiful work, but so far my results with it are fairly unpredictable. I've decided that the best way to work on my resolution is to just keep this lens on my camera all the time for a while. I figure that the more I use it, the more I'll get to know what it will do.
The DOF is very shallow on this lens for close range pictures. In this picture, for example, I was surprised that even the entire, relatively flat face of this pansy isn't in clear focus. I like the effect, but I'm hoping that as I work with this lens I will be able to produce intentional, as opposed to accidental, shots!
