Close Up photography
As I posted a couple of weeks ago, I now have a bellows which allows me to shoot closeups of really small things. This will give you an idea of scale:
 |
This is nowhere near full magnification. This shot has NOT been cropped, that's what my sensor saw. |
 |
Same flower, more magnification. This was slightly cropped because there was something ugly at the bottom of the frame. |
I also shot the following picture in the light tent at the same time. It's not a "macro" since the flower is quite a bit larger than the frame:
 |
I did a bit of work on this image, just to sharpen it and do something other than pure white (or black) for the background. I think it's called a "Day Lily", maybe someone will come along to confirm or correct that. By all means, click on this to blow it up to check out the detail. |
Now that I know how to fold up my light tent, I'm going to use it more!
Moose Workshop
As you know, I could not attend the Mike Bertelsen moose workshop in Algonquin Park mid-June because of family circumstances. I'm rather sorry I missed it, maybe I'll have another chance in a while. Two of the people who were on that trip sent me pictures yesterday, and with their permission, I'm able to show them to you here.
Without further ado...
