A Find

I was walking down this street this morning and saw that someone had put out a bunch of stuff on their lawn for anyone who wanted it. My eye was taken by these metallic birds; they will have a place in at least one macro project!

Seed Macro

I collected this sample of a burr/seed a few weeks ago, and finally got around to doing a macro shot of it this morning.

Macro Season

We had the first snow of the year in Toronto todau, and it continues as I write this post. I got together with a photography friend at a coffee shop this morning, and it was the perfect day to shoot some indoor macro images of some items I brought along. For these three images I used my iPhone.

Colour in Kipling

The area around Kipling Avenue in Toronto is not the prettiest, but that is where I was yesterday, and did find one spot that wasn’t dreary, and of course it was a flower macro.

Flowers After The Rain

Coming home from Camera Club in the rain last night, and knowing more rain was forecast overnight, I resolved to go out this morning and shoot black and white macro images of rain drops on flowers.

It was a bit breezy, and focus was a real challenge, but after some work in post I got three images I like.

I used my Sony a6100 body and 90mm macro lens.

After the Rain

I was out recently early in the morning. It had rained overnight, and I love the look of raindrops on plants, especially in black and white.

Macro

One thing I never seem to do much of is macro (close-up) photography. Last weekend I shot a roll of macro work on my Mamiya RZ67 and 65mm/4.5 lens. Being a bellows camera, the RZ 67 can extend quite a bit, and the 65mm can focus quite closely.
