Day 4: Purple Veins.
More from creeping into people’s front gardens. Love overcast days for the soft light they give on flowers. Makes nice, smooth images. The plant looks like it should be the flower of beet plants.

Day 2: Hanged Red.
As I’ve said before. Please feel free to comment with the name of the flower, I’d love to know and look stupid showing these otherwise… Alike many others, this shot is from the street, looking into peoples gardens…

Macro Week #6 – Day 1: No Place I’d Rather Bee.
Quite happy with this shot. The only one in focus out of 13. Complimentary colours. Bee facing the right way for the composition to work (literally the hardest bit is waiting for it to bloody turn around!!).

Macro Week #4 – Day 1: Among The Dark.
Very disappointed that I clipped the highlights but really wanted to keep the stamen well exposed. I was aiming for a glowing, luminance effect on the flower but didn’t want to overdo it with photoshop (my go-to excuse for not learning PS).

Day 6: Three Thirds.
Some say the rule of thirds is THE rule, others that it’s overused. I’m agnostic – the rule of thirds applies to some things and not others. All depends on how the subject interacts with the surroundings. Here, I tried to put the flower on the right third but it didn’t quite look right, then…

Day 5: Top Down.
Trying to mix up the perspective so that each shot is a little different this week. I guess they all are because the flowers are different but I do this mainly to practice with macro photography so change is only good.
