It's a good time of year to find dried out wild weeds. This is a Abutilon theophrasti, aka velvetleaf, aka buttonweed. When fresh the seedpod is about 25mm in diameter, here the pedals have opened to about 36mm to 40mm. There is also a lot of dried berries and fruit like Bradford pear and crabapple. It was windy today and nothing would set still so I had to boost the ISO and get the shutterspeed up. So no focus stacking and therefore no real sharp, detailed image to post. HMM and thanks for all the views, faves and comments.
I know this type of photo will undoubtedly be done for this Macro Monday challenge with much greater quality and clarity with much better gear and skill. But I couldn't help it, me and my cheapo Fuji S4800 had to give it a try anyway. Unfortunately I had the camera on the wrong size image, it was set to small, and I'm not going to get a chance at getting a better one tomorrow, so this will have to do.
Macro Mondays - Knob
Happy Macro Monday everyone.
The little creative knob on the front of an Olympus Pen-F.
Bought tomatoes last week and one was bruised. With the super warm temps recently decay set in. I was not sure I was going to photograph this week but the perfect subject showed up.
I am new when it comes to macro photography, so if you have any tips or advice for me that would be much appreciated. :)
I suck at themes.
By the way this is my daughter's clarinet. She was not willing to part with it and then stood supervising whilst I took the photo - I told her I wouldn't damage it because it was me who paid for it!
Marsh Fritillary
Although, as its name suggests the Marsh Fritillary is found mainly in damp, flowery meadows and marshy woodland clearings, some colonies, especially in southern England, exist on drier downland slopes where lush growths of Devil’s-bit Scabious or Small Scabious are found. This is a butterfly in serious decline throughout Europe, and in Britain it has been lost from most central and eastern counties. Drainage, overgrazing and abandonment of damp grasslands have hastened this decline, resulting in fragmentation of suitable habitats and preventing recolonisation from adjacent colonies.
