A macro view of a white 6mm plastic BB against a white background.
Strobist info:
The scene was illuminated by a single Nikon SB900 speedlight positioned at 4:30, 20-inches above and 2½ -feet away from the BB. The speedlight was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄16 power through a Neewer 24" x 24" soft box.
The SB900 was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X flash triggers.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D(AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro) with a 12mm extension tube attached.
The beauty of a single branch with fall's left over red leaves is often overlooked in preference of a tree full of leaves. In this case I liked the effect of the simplicity of just a few red leaves on a single branch.

I was inspired by simply looking at some people at a mini market ^^"
What can look simple and trendy but not so lazy?
You know it’s the all too brief Bluebell season. You ponder options for lenses, DoF, time of day (lighting), but in the end you just have to get there. They’ll show you what they want when they want, and it matters not if you only had your phone with you. Simplicity, see…?
But I will be back soon my lovelies!

I put the word simplicity in quotes not because I really intended to name the shot that, mostly because it was another lesson in a long procession of lessons that I've learned doing this hobby. Usually on my nightscapade trips I end up having "great" ideas pop into my head, after long days of hiking/working/traveling I'll have lightbulb moments spontaneously while out roaming under the stars. Then when I'm behind my computer putting in the grunt work I'll often think to myself "what in the hell was I thinking?" This is the result of one of those spontaneous lightbulb moments.
This is a shot taken up in the Uinta Mountains in Utah, I was originally going to hike to the top of Bald Mountain and get a large pano from the summit, but I arrived at the trailhead late and was unsure of the snow/trail conditions (which was a good call as I learned the next morning on my climb up). Instead I scouted a meadow below the mountain that had some nice high-elevation alpine ponds with incredibly clear water and some interesting boulders scattered about. I framed this picture with the idea that it would just be a simple scene, a calm/clear pond with a lone rock poking out set before a beautiful Milky Way Core. Except I, again, forgot how utterly nightmarish it is to edit tracked shots with trees. Ugh.
12 shots for this one taken with my Nikon D800E and Sigma Art 50mm lens on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer. Sky shots are 3 minute exposures at ISO 800 and f2.8, foreground shots are 3 minute exposures at ISO 1600 and f1.8.
Yesterday I had time to reflect and was thinking that sometimes we take for granted the very same things we should be most grateful for. At times we find ourselves so busy rushing around, juggling different tasks simultaneously, typing on keyboards (like I am doing right now) instead of talking to each other in person.
Being grateful is not convincing yourself that everything's great, as sometimes life throws challenges at us. Being grateful is choosing to focus your attention on what you care most and appreciate. Such as, being outdoors and enjoying the sun setting down (I’ve yet to experience a sunrise) on a rural scenery not far from home.
So simple, and yet so beautiful.
