macro photograhy

Our backyard day lilies are in full bloom. Here's a macro shot looking down the throat of one of them, with its stamens anthropomorphically bowing in deference to Mother Nature.

Shot today in my make-shift home studio (my living room) using a 20mm extension tube and focus stacked.

The funny thing about macro photography is that you spend your day walking around the house looking for items to shoot. You begin to notice things you see every day but you've never really given much thought to until now. This seed pod is part of a large dried plant ensemble we've had for over...

Here is my first foray into macro photography using extension tubes (thanks, Simon). Quite the learning curve, a trial-and-error process. After dozens of attempts shooting a variety of tiny subjects found around the house, here is the fruit of my efforts but nowhere near what I would like it...

It's that time of year when the fields are blooming with sunflowers. A friend told me about a field of them earlier today so I drove north to investigate. This one just seem to suit a split tone treatment. Don't ask me why.
