OK… I’m coming out of the closet…. I have a confession to make…. I bought a macro lens (Tamron 90mm Macro). As somebody that considers themselves a serious landscape photographer I feel like I have donned an anorak and now I’m a train spotter. I don’t know why, but I have never been overly interested in macro photography before ,but all of a sudden I felt the urge to try my creativity on a much smaller scale. You won’t be seeing any flowers or insects from me, but I will be trying to bring some of the principles of large scale lighting and composition to the macro world. I have to admit though that I feel very clumsy operating in the macro world where depth of field is measured in millimeters when I’m used to sometimes having infinite depth of field. This is the first of a few exercises that I have set myself to try to understand the world of macro.
Macro shot of a zucchini plant leaf.
First macro with my new camera. My remote doesn’t fit on this model so I had a bit of shutter shake & a bit of movement from the air-con (it was 41 degrees here today).
Had fun shooting this one! Got a bit wet, but was happy with the result! (This was shot in real rain. None of the raindrops were harmed during shooting) Other Categories / Animals / Apes / Architecture / Baby Animals / Bears / Birds / Big Cats / Elephants / Fish / Insects / Macro / Nature / Reptiles

Pretty drops on flower petals that form halos in the middle due to my Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX.
A water droplet on the petals of a mum… the colors and reflections in the drop were amazing I couldn’t resist… : D
Tiny dandelion seeds against a colorful paper… Enjoy!
The reflections turned out really cool on this one… Gave it a tint in Photoshop also

“The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.” ~ Auguste Rodin Samsung GX20 Pentax 50mm macro lens Available as a print on request – bubblemail me or visit my website
