Playing with weed

I was supposed to join a camera club I’m part of but I couldn’t make it. So I decided to pop outside and get a few weeds for some macro shots. Got a bokeh background on the computer screen and off I went.

Hope you like it.

While in South Africa we visited the World of Birds. Well worth a visit.

I had my Canon 1D MK III and Canon EF 24-105 L IS USM with me.
It’ll be a two or three “parter”.

Life in miniature format = Macro play

In the beginning of Spring in 2011 I was bored one afternoon and was looking for something to do. I ended up on the round-about close to my house in the flower bed. I cut open a flower’s one side and found a miniature world rich with life inside.

Photos were taken with a Canon 450D and stock 18-55mm lens.
F13, ISO1600
F8, ISO1600 F5.6, ISO800 F13, ISO1600 You can see the size of the flower here as I held it in hand and before cutting the side open to get closer to the little creatures. There is a world out there and we miss so much of it, I really need to do more things like this.
As I was walking to the round-about I took these few photos.

Take your camera shopping.

We have many a shop around our homes that has some interesting options for photos.

I enjoy popping into my local garden centre and seeing what I can find to photograph. Below are photos taken 2 years ago at one of these garden centres.

Next time you are going to your local garden centre pack your camera in and see what photos you take home.

Of course you need to take photos of flowers.

Out with the old in with the new.

These photos were taken 2 years ago at our local river at the end of winter and beginning of spring. It was so nice to see life starting to come back to the grey and brown surrounding.

I love the effect that your eyes get drawn up to the top of the photo and then starts running down the middle to the bottom. I like this photo even though it’sa bit busy in the background, I’ll have to revisit this site.
