These shells are the jewels of my collection. The biggest is no more than 10mm long and the smallest is 2mm. To help gain perspective on how tiny they are, the shell they are sitting in is 7cm across. / I never really understood peoples desire to collect shells until one holiday when I went to a tiny island in the Coral Cays and saw the beautiful shapes and colours and patterns that were on – and in – the shells…..thus started my obsession (ok – I admint it ~ passion) to collect shells whenever on holidays at the beach. / I especially like to use the macro lens to bring out the details that can be easily missed with the naked eye. / ENJOY.
Untouched Macro. My son ate this soon after shooting it.
I took this photo at home of my son painting Tigger. I mainly concentrated on getting him to keep the brush still for me on his way to the paper! / This macro work is untouched (don’t ask how many shots it took to get this!!)
This is a picture of my beautiful cat Bosco. He is a Blue Birman. He has the most beautiful nature and loves his cuddles. Taken from my home at in Brisbane. Love the macro lens (and for those that know me – my passion) and this macro is untouched. Took this photo late in the afternoon – natural lighting.
This is a macro photo – hand held – taken in the country. This little butterfly is only 1.2 cm tall and the little flower it’s sitting on is only tiny as well. This is an untouched photo. This is best viewed large – there are a lot of tiny water droplets along the edge of the wings.
I gotta say how much I love ‘weedy’ gardens! Anything too neat and you don’t see many butterflies or damselflies. Found this little gal this morning in a garden full of weeds – but also full of dragonflies (which just didn’t stay still for me :( ) and this Damselfly which did stay still – yah!! Taken at Newstead on my way home.
decided to use a cropped version of this photo for the front page of my new website 100mm macro lens, 20d.
Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers display was on – beautiful flowers as far as the eye could see.
Canon 100mm macro , Canon 40d macro
Experimenting with waterdroplets and lighting i was pretty stoked when i got this shot.photo taken with canon 40d and canon 100mm 2.8 macro
I bought a Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens in January and I have been waiting 3 months for the snow to melt. Finally today I mananged to get into the backyard and take a few shots of this slug I found. / / The image is straight from the camera… as is. I love that lens. / / I find this type of photography has a learning curve so any suggestions for improvement would be appreciated. / / I used my 580 EX II flash… shot through a plastic baby wipes container to soften the light. Flash was positioned to the right of the slug, laying on the ground next ot it. / / Cheers, / Kev

This photo makes me think of a song by Elton John: It’s a little bit funny this feeling inside / I’m not one of those who can easily hide / I don’t have much money but boy if I did / I’d buy a big house where we both could live / If I was a sculptor, but then again, no / Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show / I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do / My gift is my song and this one’s for you / And you can tell everybody this is your song / It may be quite simple but now that it’s done / I hope you don’t mind / I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words / How wonderful life is while you’re in the world / I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss / Well a few of the verses well they’ve got me quite cross / But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote this song / It’s for people like you that keep it turned on / So excuse me forgetting but these things I do / You see I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue / Anyway the thing is what I really mean / Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen. I have a particular friend in mind…. but, this goes out to all who may be hurting. / Love and hugs, / Always, / Laura
