Bah Hum-Bug
Another image that I made the other day while photographing the Christmas cactus blossoms on my front porch. This is high-magnification macro image and it is the full frame as captured by the camera – no cropping. For a scale reference in this photograph the ant was about half the length of a grain of rice. Look at the ants on the flowers in yesterday’s post to see their size in comparison to an entire blossom.
Christmas Cactus
They have all come into bloom on my front porch this past week so I went out there and snapped a few shots in the late afternoon sunlight the other day.
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.
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.
Fake Flowers Floating in a Fountain
Just one of those little scenes that caught my eye while shooting at an event this weekend.
Stop and Shoot the Roses
My wife has a lot of roses around the house. I walk by them with a camera around my neck several times a day on my way to my truck and back and once in a while I take the time to shoot them when they catch my eye.
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.
Purple Haze
I’m overwhelmed with client work this week as a major magazine deadline is approaching and everyone wants me to shoot something at the last minute to get published. So I’m still not shooting anything for myself. As a matter of fact I’m hardly even getting any sleep because I’m shooting assignments until at least 9:00 pm each night and then driving home and processing files until the wee hours and then I start over again. So here is another random image pulled from my archives that I never got around to posting here in the past.
Flower Power
I was doing some work around the house this weekend and noticed that a couple of the orchids that sit out on the porch were blooming nicely. I decided to take short break from chores and take a few shots. It was nice diversion for a bit of time. I knew if I didn’t make myself take the time while I was thinking about it I probably wouldn’t think about it again until who knows when. My luck, by the time I would remember the flowers would be gone.
