Photoshop manipulation. Just 3 roses, modified to black white contours, then colored with a color layer.

This is getting to be a bit of a thing. What is it about pink?
I spent the afternoon trying to photograph shadows for tomorrow's Macro Mondays group challenge, but nothing worked. Maybe I just prefer light to shadows. I'm not sure, but in any case I felt much happier photographing flowers.
Happy Easter, everyone.
A possibility for the "Macro Mondays" group theme "Medical"
I think it contrubutes to the group "sliders sunday." on the basis of the way I had to use and hold an odd lens!
This week already having photographed these flasks using a Jeweller' eye-glass as a lens, I remembered my Dad's disection kit also contained an eye-glass. So the same subject, a different eye-glass and a very different result! It probably helped that I had cleaned the glass this time!
The eye-glass must be over 90 years old and contains just a single double convex uncoated glass lens. I've used a couple of extension tubes on the camera and then handheld the glass to the tubes. Again a handheld shot because I was just curious to know how the result might differ from my last trial.
Well within MM 3 inches limit.
Male Great Purple Hairstreak (Atlides halesus) - Pine Lily Preserve, 1401 South Co Road 13, Orlando, Florida
Funny how things you never saw before grab you by the brain, and force you to take a picture. And lucky for me this guy even gave me a good pose, and flashed me with that lovely, bright blue spot on his forewing.
And I'll bet the fem Hairstreaks like that blue too.

Orchid table top macro in the kitchen today. I have taken a photograph of it today as I usually manage to kill my orchids within 4 weeks.

I was looking for something 'Spiky' for this weeks 'MacroMondays' challenge and found this old brush in a cardboard box. Obviously I had been hoping for another dog and just stored it away. Why it wasn't cleaned before I just don't know, but it has been now!
Still looking at possibilities with this odd lens - rather like it so far and the bokeh I'm getting seems very acceptable.

'Stolen' from a dried flower display on a window ledge, these oats are probably too dried out to germinate.
About 2 inches across so well within the 3 inch limit!

Macro photo. I kept the leaf for some months, preventing it from drying out, before i took this picture.

Trying to photograph a glass of water I caught this as I was setting up. The idea had been to use the result as an illustration to MMs theme of 'Staying Healthy' - drinking plenty of water is needed for that. Then the phrase 'Over the Edge' came to mind - an expression that alludes to the edge of sanity - and so to the issues of mental health.
'Staying Healthy' is about mental as well as physical health.
I suspect a lot of us use our photography as a means of relaxation and removal from our everyday stresses so as a result we are more likely to be mentally 'Staying Healthy'.
Originally posted and titled 'Glass Tumbler', the photo is of the top rim of a clear drinking glass.

Sometimes photos don't quite turn out how we plan...like this one.🙈 I was intending to take a crisp macro shot of these water droplets, but instead I ended up with this dreamy abstract looking image. Which I love, by the way, much more than the image I thought I was taking 💜
What photos have you taken that you've loved more than the planned shot?

Shot for Our Daily Challenge :“String, Stringed, Stringy”
EXPLORE: 7/19/09
These were grown from seed I saved from last year. This was the only decent shot I had out of a whole bunch. None of the rest had the detail this one did.
This was an experiment in simplicity. No focus stacking, no editing beyond basic adjustments and cropping, all the work done in studio to create a fun water droplet refraction image. The hardest part about this is being a good “droplet architect”!
I shot this image with the Lumix G9 which is a 20MP micro four thirds camera but with a high-resolution mode that can generate 80MP images. It was my first encounter with this feature, and I use it regularly on my Lumix S14 and A1 camera bodies. I had never previously published this image online, though it did end up in my new book (which you can grab a copy of here: skycrystals.ca/product/pre-order-macro-photography-the-un... ) adjacent to the foreword.
That high-resolution mode makes “macro” work easier… or at least, the perception of macro work! The term is directly related to how large something is in reality vs. how large it appears on the sensor. A 1:1 relationship (life-size) is the classical definition of macro work… but today we use the term for anything notably magnified – and cropping can get us there as well. When cropping in excessively, you’ll also need a lens capable of resolving the best details while simultaneously avoiding issues from diffraction. I found that the Leica 45mm F/2.8mm macro at F/11 (or wider) holds up nicely when the high resolution mode is activated and cropping is utilized to push deeper into the macro realm while still maintaining excellent depth of field.
The flower petals are held in place just outside of the frame with “third hand tools”, little alligator clamps on a swivel base that can easily position subjects for table-top macro work. The droplets themselves were placed with a hypodermic needle, and the water is just that: plain old tap water.
The goal was to try and place the petals all at different angles; the bottom petal is facing more forward to come out of focus, but the droplets were placed in line with the others to try and get a bit of depth in the frame while maintaining the best level of focus. One must work quickly, however! The petals will droop and change positions fairly quickly, likely shifting the droplets to a slightly different focal plane. The camera is set up beforehand with a remote trigger so as soon as everything is in place, I can fire off the shot.
Illuminated with an LED flashlight pointed at the flower in the background, the background becomes brighter than the petals, and thereby the droplets become brighter than the surface they are attached to. This helps them stand out more brightly and vibrantly in the image. A full list of considerations, techniques and equipment is presented in my new book, linked above. This is such a fun subject to explore at home, on your kitchen table!
For the Macro Mondays group, on the subject of "Intentional Blur", this is a small spinning top, in motion.
While motion, and blur, are fairly easy to capture at larger scales, at a macro level it's not at all easy to do - at least, not intentionally!
It really is the old kitchen grater.
I stole it without M looking!
Lit with a single lamp, and some reflected light from my gift bag, (I keep using this), and then a bit of fiddling - not much really.

The beauty of wet and wild.
With part of it being that there's a whole lot less traffic on rainy days, so there are fewer tourists to scare away your subjects!
And besides they look kinda cute waiting for their blow-dry.
FYI - Pretty amazing how much detail can be captured from 30—35 feet away when you're using prime glass.
