A selection of recent macro images. My focus here was on dark backgrounds and shadows. All taken with Sony a6100 and TTArtisan 40mm f/2.8 macro lens

Technology close up
I am finding many of my macro/close-up images these days have themes of metal and technology. There are a couple I created yesterday at a table top macro meetup at the Only Cafe. Both taken with my Sony a6100 and TTArtisan 40mm f/2.8 macro lens.
In the Spotlight
I was working on macro photography this morning, and one of the props I was using was a maple leaf I had preserved from last fall. I was playing around with lighting, and this look made me feel like Canada was alone in a harsh spotlight, facing the adversary that the U.S. under Trump has become.
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.
A View Looking Down
It’s the time when dandelions in Toronto start going to seed. This is the view of one, looking down from above.
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.
