Yesterday’s Take a Guess shot was a cracker, but not a Ritz. It was one of those whole grain crackers that are about two and a half times as large as a Ritz and this one was Vegetable Flavored.
Sorry about the late post today. I went into the bedroom to clean (Monday’s are cleaning day part 2) and then the morning light shone through the window. I had to shoot. I bought some beautiful lilies and a gerber daisy at the florists on Saturday, and one of the lilies was opened up so pretty. I ended up taking macro images for over an hour. After the light moved on, I brought out the flash and worked with that for a bit. The center of the daisy, when viewed with all three extension tubes on, actually looks like a field of individual flowers. It was so pretty!! I finally had to make myself stop so I could post and get the work of the day completed before fun time starts.
Today you get two macro shots. The bottom one was one of the first test shots I took with my macro ring flash…a wonderful tool indeed.
The first shot is a color version of this shot. Some had asked what the seed pod looked like in color, so I finally went out and shot one and I also took a shot of what it looks like before it’s brown and dry. I’ll show that one some other Macro Monday.
The second shot is Pooh. He’d been missing for months and I have no idea where his shirt is. He’s at least ten years old if not older and he just happened to show up the day I decided to put the lens to the test. I can’t spot meter with this camera, so I was wondering how the photo would come out with Pooh on all that black. I was pleased. I got in closer, and I might share that one as well some time. The flash did well both with and without extension tubes on.
I Love Pooh Bear!!!
These are both great. I like the details in the seed pod.
Wowzer - that macro flash is BRIGHT! What a great tool to have in the gear collection. The seed pod is equally enjoyable in color as in b/w, too :-)
Never seen Pooh the bear sans clothes ;-)
Fun stories and great pictures as usual. I like the slight shadow behind the seed pod. it gives your macro shot added depth.
I like how these came out. Macros can be so cool and I thionk you've captured some good stuff here!
i do like the lack of harsheness of light on pooh...
very nice macro, love the brown.white combo...
The seedpod is carrying so much intriguing detail I would not be surprised to see a microscope adaptor on that wish list of yours!
Ohh...the Pooh reminds me of my little brother. When he was a little kid he used to drag his around everywhere. I am jealous of your sun in the window. Wind and rain warnings here. It feels as though our house is going to blow away!!
Pooh is a cute. He looks like he is in 3D
I like both the two shots,. They don't tell me about the same stories...
Pooh Bear! Where's Tigger?!!! You and your new toys! ;-) When does the new scanner arrive?
I prefer macros that are really close in and almost abstract. Harder to light though. Pooh Looks suitably uncomfortable in the spot light especially without his shirt.
Love the seed pod, but i especially love it in B&W :-)
Got to love a naked pooh! hehehehe
I so need to get me some tubes and a flash ring!
Love the shadow the pod gives off and well the pooh bear reminds us that YOU are ~*a mom*~ as well a great photographer!
I love Gerbras!Pink!
hugs NG
That Pooh is naked!
My Mom used to read me Pooh stories as a little boy. He wasn't naked in the stories though;)
nice macro wt flash...the color stand out so well in the dark background:-)
Ialways enjoy your macro shot too Micki :) nice work!
Great shots Miki :)The macro one is really good.
Very nice
I love this little POOH !
I have a bear too, it's twenty seven years old. My wife gave it to me when i climbed up on bike "le Col d'Aubisque" for the first time.
iNTERESTING SHOTS, :)
Suby
Interesting that you haven't been sucked into the digital world. One advantage alone that i found is the reduction in cost of development! And the scanning bother too, but your shots are lovely. More please?
Pooh!!! Awwwwwww!
