This was originally named 'Purple Plant & Raindrops' but thankfully my friend Jessica knows the real name :)
This might be the best raindrop macro I've gotten so far. I've been envying other people's techniques with this on Flickr (and I'm still not as good). Cate at www.catescott.com has some great raindrop macros, so check those out for more.
Playing with my new 50mm lens! I'm a lot more pleased with my attempts yesterday than I was on the first try.
I used Google images to try and find out the name of this flower, but I still don't know.
Yellow with Raindrops
Petals on RocksI've been digging up weeds, and Kevin's been working on a little garden in the backyard. I was chillin' outside with Denali and noticed the spade shining through all the dirt.
I decided to take a shallow DoF because I like the texture of the soil in the middle.
Our two jasmine plants just started blooming. The flowers are so cute, and it smells really good.
I used a Gaussian blur, Screen Mode, Opacity 50% layer to give a little softer, glow-y feel.
Apparently I was into macro plant photography today.
Our cactus is having a baby! It's so darn cute I had to get a nice closeup of it.
We'll be registered at Target for the baby shower. Baby cactus loves towels and Xbox games.
My fiance got 2 tomato plants yesterday. I was outside with Denali at about noon, and I went to check them out. The sun was lighting the little hairs perfectly, so I went inside and grabbed the camera.
I'm really pleased with how sharp the hairs came out. I love macro!
I'm always swearing not to take any more flower photos, but this one bloomed today and looked so bright and happy.
Cate gave me this for Christmas. It's a small glass ball with a blue flower in the bottom. It's so bright in the sunlight, I wanted to capture it. Amazingly it didn't take that long or very much editing. Bonus was the refraction through the bottom.
As soon as I came downstairs this morning I saw what I wanted to photograph! All of our plants are inside because it froze overnight a few days last week.
The cactus was glowing from the light coming through the blinds, and I feel lucky that I caught it at that moment.
This is the second photo for 1-17. Cate gave me these for Christmas this year. She's the penguin, and I'm the turtle (but the rest of the time we're ninjas).
