My, how time melts away!
Today's lesson: Natural light is much better for close-up photos...
I should change the project's name to Close-up Week, I've just found out my macro lens is not a real macro :-(
"Although designated and classified as a macro lens, the Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro lens natively offers only 1:2 (.5x) magnification vs. 1:1 (1x) in most true macro lenses." (www.the-digital-picture.com)
MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY I
Macro photography can be fun. You can take close up photos of almost anything. I’ve collected all the tips I’ve got about it.
•Like any other photo that you take, simplify.
•Fill the photo with your subject.
•Use a tripod.
•Sharp focus is a must. Manual focus will allow you to decide what you want not the camera.
•Bracketing is good… more choice with the end result.
•If possible put the subject on a sheet of paper and move it back and forth to focus instead of using the focus ring.
•Try shooting from different angles. If you’re looking for deep saturation of the colors, use front lighting. If you’d like to bring out the texture of your subject, side lighting is the way to go.
•Due to the narrow depth of field, the background will usually be thrown completely out of focus, which allows the natural background to be nice backdrop,. Just make sure you don’t have anything distracting in the back that’s recognizable.

For Jackie - daisies for Daisypops :-)
(Best hope I'm right in identifying them as daisies now!!! Well, they're pretty flowers, anyhow)
It's not that I like beer at all...just photographing it...(yeah, right...believe that and I've got a Brooklyn Bridge to sell you)...
Just loved the little bubbles in the head and had to photograph them...of course, they form a dynamic system, constantly being replenished and diminished, so a longish exposure time like this is bound to show that...
Shot for the "Macro Madness" event on Facebook. Basically someone created an event where the focus for the week is macro type shots.
*Taken with a 50mm reverse mounted on a 100mm macro with 3 Kenko extension tubes attached.

But she didn't seem to like it that much...called it a weed?
Poor misunderstood little Lego man - just doing his best…but his best ain't good enough...

I baked a cake today, called Koningskroon. It's Indonesian and I took a lot of pictures while I was preparing it. The pictures took more time than making the cake. The recipe will be on my blog, but I haven't had the time for it yet to put it there.
This may look even more strange, than my Mortadella sandwich :)
It's the bud of a poppy, I think tomorrow this will be a flower.
I don't really understand why the DoF is so very small since I used aperture f8, can anybody tell me why that is?
I really wanted to do a Macro of Indi's Heart-shaped-spot (with a bit of imagination)
Since that spot is the star here, I chose for lower brightness and no details in the black.
"You can dance, every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight.
You can smile, every smile for the man
Who held your hand neath the pale moon light.
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be,
So darlin' save the last dance for me."
Dando sequência,mais uma simples,porém bela ................margarida ???
Gosto de fotografa-las, mas sou ruim de nomes !!!

No-one's as busy as this little furry flyer...busy pollinating my apple tree (thank you very much, Ms Bee!)
OK - not a macro (but quite close-up)...not particularly well in focus (I'm rubbish at non-static manual focus shots)...not great composition (the bee wasn't giving too many opportunities)...but I was quite glad to get the picture…
