• Day 7: Sap.

  What you see at the right bottom of the berry is not rain or dew. That’s solidified sap. I remember I used to eat cherry sap off the trees as a child… I wasn’t the most normal of children.

• Day 6: Depleted.

  I took the photo because even though the flower was non-existent, it had this grace about it, the petals still being in the viscinity of the stem.

• Day 5: Own Garden.

  This is taking garden-creeping to the next level. Taken at an allotment centre, with 10s of gardens next to each other and lots of flowers/plants to photograph. I don’t have all that many photos to show though. It was quite rainy hence the water droplets but during editing I managed to figure out how to…

• 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 3: Stalk Dead.

  Bit of a creepy title but it’s a bit of a creepy photo. Again, not a clue what plant this is but it looked cool so I clicked the button and made this. The distortion is done by my favourite thing – foreground subject blur, where the thing is so close to the camera, the…

• 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!!).

• Hipstock.

  I need to start coming up with titles that aren’t just terrible fusions of words… Was going for a clean, unobtrusive shot with little going on, a hipster/trendy process which is supplemented by the iPad (other, better tablets are available).

• People Are Strange.

  I’m always very self conscious about taking photos of people. It’s difficult not to come across as a creep, especially being male. I also hate using spot colouring but I really wanted to bring out the colour of her dress whereas the background looked much better in black and white. As for the title –…
