Day 3: Just.
Pretty lucky with this shot. It isnt that obvious but the moth is actually about to take off. It was obviously accidental and I’m especially lucky with the right comb being in focus. Sadly the scene isnt very exciting so the photo looks quite bland.

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 1: Wicked Fruit.
Unannounced, comes the 4th Macro Week. Friday is the new Monday so here’s the first of 7 street-macro shots I took. I say ‘street-macro’ because all of these are taken of front garden plants or in one instance a tree. Just want to show that to take macro photos you don’t need to have plants…
