Yesterday’s image was that of a small screw that I found on my desk. Everyone always throws all their small “stuff” on the desk. I never get it all cleaned up and put where it belongs.
I had a good time using all my pretty morning sunlight last month when I was shooting the flowers I’d purchased. As the season progresses, I’ll lose it-I already am. But soon I’ll be outside shooting wild flowers around the yard. There were a few new wildflowers, very small ones, in front of the house this weekend, but I lost my sunlight by time I’d discovered them. My daffodils are still growing, but we’ll be cold for a few days coming up. I think that might send them back into hibernation.
Have a good week.
nice shot micki,
looking at your macros makes me wanna buy a macro lens even more...!its just that they are so darn expensive..!
could you suggest a good macro lens,i'm using a Nikon D100...
Top quality macro, just love it!
Simply fantastic - I think I can speak for many viewers when I say again what a marvelous range of detail, tone and hue are revealed to us by your new scanner. Almost like getting new glasses after an eye exam :-) The quality has always been present on the negs, but now we finally get to SEE it at its fullest!
Oh my, that is just dandy, Micki.
The Colors, the softness, great stuff Micki, great stuff.
Lovely, just lovely!
Great composition and colors Micki. I like this one.
very monday shots beats the previous one and this one is no exception...
The detail you capture in these flowers never ceases to amaze and the retained subtlety in the colors is alluring.
I like this macro. Really shows the detail of the inside of a flower. Nice shot!
Wonderful detail and colors.
I always love your macro flower shots.. The lighting is always perfect on them!
Aren't lillies just beautiful? The soft colour of the lily against the sharp outline and colour of the stamen gives a lovely contrast to the image. I really like this one Micki.
Fireworks gushing from inside the lily.
Lovely flower shot Micki
I love the macro and aren't the centers of flowers so intricate? Really nice shot.
I really love this, Micki. Beautiful.
Beautiful shot!
{{{{Daffodils coming up}}}you tell them to get back into hibernation!! We are all seeing effects of global warming..tsk tsk.
A wonderful explosion of pollen!
Awesome!
This is so beautiful :-)
Your flowers shot is always beautiful and nice composition Micki :D
Your recent macros are just gorgeous. This one has a really nice composition. i really like it.
Fantastic macro shot, nice clear details! Very well done!
Great shot Micki, love the detail in it, wonderful capture. All the best.
Wonderful. quite an erotic image. nicely composed.
Brilliant macro shot !
Excellent macro, Micki! Nice camera angle and perfect dark background.
Gorgeous!! A fabulous composition!
I dreamed you and your family came to visit and we kept trying to find a time to go out shooting together but there was too much going on. Very likely how it would go :)
I have to agree with John, that is just dandy! What a beautiful flower. Also, that scanner is fantastic! :-) That's a great Christmas present for all of US and, heck, even you're getting some use out of it. ;-)
Lovely macro shot. Well done!
I see you bought yourself an Epson 4990... it's been on my wishlist for a long time now. I preferred buying myself a sigma 50mm f/2.8 macro (would have preferred a 105mm but again the money wasn't enough...). Have a great day!
Great macro - the DoF and composition are perfect. Shots like these make me regret selling my 60mm macro... ; however, it was for a friend and she needed it more than I did. But perhaps I'll buy myself another (or possibly that 100mm/2.8 one?.. :-D) once I gather enough money for it.
This is stunning! Lillies are one of my favorite flowers. Well done.
Nice shot and composition. Are you scanning the prints or the negatives?
