Ruby is the calmer of a pair of (adorable) miniature goldendoodles. Here we find her in an unusual spot for a rest, but one she loves nonetheless. Because she can see the front door? No time for napping when there's a visitor to ambush, I guess.
Onboard The Ruby Princess leaving Ft. Lauderdale Feb. 21, 2009. Sara on our deck. Cabin A753. Awesome Suite and deck.
Ruby with just enough light. Providing you give perfect lighting and less interrupting shadows and reflection. Photographing gemstones, to capture the earth's work is very difficult. As you can tell by my other photos of same relation.
Unfortunately Ruby has slight skin issue on her tummy due to excessive grooming, therefore has to wear a collar for hopefully a short while.
She does not mind it to much once on, but squirms a bit when trying to put it on. I have cut it down so she can eat & drink.

Taken with a macro filter
Ruby Saltbush (Enchylaena tomentosa) is one of many plant species found in the South Australia. Ruby saltbush is an open, straggling shrub that can grow up to 2m tall when protected by taller shrubs or tree clumps. Grazing commonly limits plant height in the open to 40-50cm. Leaf colour varies from dark blue-green to light shades of silver-grey and silver-green. The leaves often appear succulent and may be hairy or smooth. They are 1-2cm long and narrowly cylindrical. Stems are distinctively marked with parallel lines. The flowers are small, occurring in the leaf axils. The fruits are succulent, and yellow to red. In arid regions, Ruby saltbush is an important feed source for sheep.
Scavenger Challenge- February 2017 Assignment - Close-Up
This month, we're going to focus on close-ups of small objects or details. There are several ways to achieve this, notably with the "macro" feature built in to most cameras. However, sometimes better results can be obtained by standing back and zooming in or using a long lens. Likewise, if your camera has interchangeable lenses, you can use a close-up lens. There are even "macro filters" (I use them in much of my nature photography). But don't get stuck on having to do it all with lenses and settings. Experiment with various magnifying devices, like a microscope or a hand-held magnifier. Getting the focus crisp through an external tool can be tricky, but it can also be a lot of fun. For February 2017, please limit your field of view (what you see through the viewfinder, not a cropped image) to SIX INCHES in width, i.e., the subject of your photo AND area adjacent to it should be no wider than six inches. Anything UNDER six inches is allowable. Although it's not required, I'd like to see you try for extreme close-ups and sharp focus (e.g., stamen detail in a flower center, dates on coins, etc.). The closer the better! And have fun!
I am not very happy with my macro filter results. I do feel that my bad eyesight does let me down when trying to manual focus, but that's life. I am using an old filter that does not fit proper either
