Going back home means going back to the routines.
Going back to the calmness and meditation in my macro photography is like going back to the home of my photography.
Believe in me, there is no better place than home although vacation travel brings you all the excitements and sights. I take a little break from my Lisbon series and this is my macro shot taken in Minoru Park.
I want to share this quote that I have read in the National Geographic book.
"I think the world really boils down to two types of people - those who see shapes in cloud formations, and those who just see clouds." - Danzae Pace
Have a great Sunday!
Another shot from last Saturday's morning snow. Bittersweet grows like a weed here in VA but the berries are pretty:)

Jumping Spider & Raynox DCR 250 (Take 2)
Macro photography is one of my passions, and I have been progressively working on getting more magnified images by adding the Raynox DCR250 to my Sigma 150mm macro and my Nikon D610. I had posted a first try image earlier and one of the suggestions was to try a larger aperture (e.g. f/11 - f/16) so after finding another Jumping spider in the back yard I decided to have another go. This image was captured with the Nikon D610, Sigma 150mm Macro and is probably about 1.6:1 - 2:1 magnification.
I had to bump up the ISO to get the shutter speed fast enough (since I was not using a flash), and the EXIF / Shot details were 1/50 seconds, f/11, ISO 2000. As there was a large amount of noise this was removed using Topaz DeNoise AI, before the image was edited in Skylum Luminar 4 (using Enhance AI and Structure AI). I brought the image into Affinity Photo to try and remove some dirt from the surface (the spider was on a black porcelain tile which is reflecting the blue sky, but also contained a significant amount of dirt / dust / distractions).
I am much happier with this capture, still a long way to go but practice makes perfect :). FYI The spider was not harmed in the taking of these photos, and was returned back to where it was found.

Oruga de las lechetreznas, una de las más llamativas y grandes que nos podemos encontrar. El adulto no es una mariposa, es una esfinge bastante grande. Se alimentan exclusivamente de euforbias o lechetreznas en su fase larval, de ahí su nombre común.
La eruga del cossiró de les lletereses, una de les més cridaneres i grans que ens podem trobar. L'adult no és una papallona, sinó una esfinge bastant gran. S'alimenten exclusivament de eufòrbies o lletereses en la seva fase de larva, d'aquí el seu nom comú.
The caterpillar of the spurge hawk-moth, one of the most striking and large species you can come across. The adult is not a butterfly but rather a fairly large sphinx moth. They exclusively feed on euphorbias or spurges in their larval stage, hence their common name.

I can see why it is very easy to get addicted to water drop photography. The wonderful colors and randomness what you see are easy to get hooked on! Each one is its own unique, natural, and beautiful little sculpture! And not a single one can be duplicated!
Used a bit of glycerin in the droplet tank for these. It seems to smooth things out a bit. :-)
