Fun With Flowers
This a test shot I made of a setup I was putting together while helping a student in my studio the other day.
Tool Time
I was testing a light the other day and the closest thing for me to grab and put in front of the lens at the time was a pair of locking pliers that was on my desk. Turns out I really liked the look of the industrial texture and mechanical fittings on the pliers as subject matter.
Hibiscus
I had a few minutes of free time at home the other day so I took advantage of it and made a quick trip around my back yard with a macro lens. This hibiscus blossom was one of the highlights of my little excursion.
Lost and Found
Looks like one of the neighbor kids lost a little rubber ball in my yard. Of course when I found it I had to take a picture of it.
Down on the Ground
After all the rain finally subsided a few mushrooms sprouted up in my back yard. I decided to take a bugs-eye view shot of one of them just for fun.
Tiny and Vibrant
I have no idea what the name of this tiny little flower is but it’s certainly a strong visual change after 3 days of posting black and white images here.
Living Color
This is a 1:1 macro photograph of a small lichen that I found growing on the trunk of a tree. I really like the range of colors that existed in the scene. The candy-cane red contrasted so nicely with the minty green parts of the lichen and also the vivid green moss on the tree trunk.
