Macro for my 365...

I can't believe I finally pulled out my MUCH neglected Macro lens! I know...what's new right! I have this little bulb flower/plant that my mom bought me for Xmas! My husband cuts it down everytime he does yard work! So I have yet to see a flower bloom from it. After many times hearing me crab at him about it, he's worked around it. It's just starting but had dew on it this morning, so I couldn't resist getting my Macro lens out!

Same flower, different edits! Both pictures in each collage are edited to match, but each collage itself has a different edit! Fun to take the same subject and find so many different ways to edit them!

So here they are...

Edited with Lily from Lilyblue's Wallflower set...



Edited with Funky Photographers FREE action set that she shared. The set I have I do not see on her blog. So I'm thinking maybe she shared it on 2Peas or CM at some point. I've had it a while and LOVE it for fun creative edits, especially on Macro. Sorry I can't link you directly to this set, but she does have another FREE set on her blog. So check it out and while you are there...check out her work! I love her!


Edited with Lodon from Florabella's Luxe I set....


I needed something completely different because I was getting really bored with this flower bud! Lol! Edited with Red Leaf Color Vibes from the Workflow Set & Red Leaf Film Shift Washed Brighter from their Film Shift set...


So...that's it! I know...not much for it being so long since shooting Macro. But I'm just proud I got the lens out! Lol! Happy Friday!

I finally shot macro....

after the rain I headed outside to take advantage of all the rain drops... I call this set "The bully"... And this set "Karma"... I normally don't do b&w on flowers & macro but I wanted a more dramatic b&w for these... For this set I focused in front then on each focus further back.... Avyree's mud creation... Peaches on our tree. The look good size but are actually quite small.... Rain vs chalk...the rain won... Thanks for looking! :)

Macro + Backlight + Textures = Happiness

Played with some backlight today. Some is extreme, others more tame. But I textured the crap outta all of them and it made me happy! :)






Thanks for looking! :)

Macro and OCF...

I bought my OCF setup a while ago but have yet to use it. I set it up once to test it and make sure it worked and that was it! So I joined a 52 week macro project. I had already missed week one so when week two came around and it was dull and gray outside, I decided to pull it out and give it a go. And I LOVED it! So you will probably be seeing more macro OCF stuff from me! :) Then maybe one day I'll venture into people and OCF. But once step at a time.

The theme was fruit and or veggies. The first four are grapes in soda water...










And here is a pull back of my setup...

Thanks for looking! :)
