Nature, Science, and Macro Imagery

Spring flowers

The appearance of small plants and flowers in the past two weeks has been a huge relief. I’m not much of an indoor photographer, and with the change of weather I’ve finally been able to get outside again. I’ve gotten a few good ant shots already, but with my macro rig in a transitional state (to put it nicely) I’ve been changing things up by shooting some flowers in natural light. I uploaded several to my gallery this morning.

Prints of all these images are available through the links.

    I love how you use depth of field. These faded areas next to these intense areas of extreme detail, for me, is what makes these photos draw me in and keep my interest. As a viewer, I don't think you'd be able to concentrate as much on the details without the areas of rest.Okay, I'm taking my art-school graduate hat off now. Great stuff!

    Robin: Those are great images. I'm hoping to do something like that with the microscope at work, though I need to buy an eyepiece for my adapter first. I tried responding a few days ago, but Blogger wasn't letting me post for some reason.Celes: Thanks!
