I brought them in from the garden this morning and I was trying to avoid having to show the nibbled bit of one of the tulips as I thought it would upset the 'equilibrium' of the composition (sounds pompous but you know what I mean). I decided though that the little nibbled bit deserved to have its fifteen minutes of fame! 😊

There are definite signs of Spring on the horizon in Cotignac including mimosa trees. This is a shot of our mimosa tree which we planted as a sapling the year we arrived in 2021 and it's grown so much in the years since then. Another sign of Spring is blossom on the almond trees which you see dotted around Cotignac

Actually this is just a word play, since the plate is from the series Manufacture Rock from Villeroy und Boch.

 

Same plate differnt day , different light, light shaped by the railings of my balcony, one photo with an addidional reflector zebra gold and silver.

A macro of one of the flowers on my amaryllis which eventually burst into bloom on 3 January. For added effect I placed a red chopping board behind it. You can never have too much red I always think 😊 ❤️❤️

This is a photo of a bouquet I bought at the village market on Tuesday. It comprised mini-red roses and four pink cala lily flowers. There was a lot of greenery 'spray' too and that is what you can see and what gives it the green 'dreamy' look as I pointed the camera directly through it

Today I was at the local garden nursery looking for some flowers for my Mom, WoW.!

When I saw these beautiful Pink Exploding flowers, my decision was made.

She was so happy to receive such a beautiful gift of love from her son, Gaston.

And of course she invited me for lunch.

This shot demonstrates a good use of the rule of thirds, in my opinion

Marbles for Macro Mondays, borrowed from a friend, placed on a black pizza plate, Villeroy & Boch, series Manufacture Rock. For the light sun, through a metal plate for grilling.

 

The main challenge, was to place the marbles onto to the plate, somehow equidistant from each other, in a straight line, put no parallel to the lens, to get some dept of field. Last but the grill plate into a magic clamp, adjust the plate for the right hot spot, camera to tripod and take some photos.

 

If you look carefully, there are different reflections and hot spots on the marbles.

I was just trying out different Subjects to refract into the droplets of water on my spiral piece of copper wire.

This is a photo stack of 8 images. I did the full stack of 16 images, but that just didn't look as good with everything in the shot in focus. I feel like there has to be some blur for it to be believable.

Not my favorite one of these I have done, mostly because of the flower. A rather boring, yellow dahlia. I'm having a hard time finding good flowers at the local stores lately. I miss Summer...

 

Shot using a Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 Macro lens and the Tokina AT-X Macro Extender to get to 1:1 magnification.
