Day 4: Dog Rose.
I was surprised to learn that this is a type of rose. I guess this is a wild species and the flower-shop roses we see today used to look something like this, before they were bred to look… well, nicer.
Like in many of my macro shots, I like a blurry foreground as well as background. It gives some position to the subject.

Day 2: Distorted.
It was an overcast day which was good for smooth, delicate macro shots. The bokeh here came out so deep that it’s almost dizzying to look at.

Day 6: Geranium robertianum.
I actually found out what the weed is called! It’s apparently also called Red Robin and Crow’s Foot. Definitely one of my favourite plants to photograph. When the bulbs are caught in the background, the white hairs form a glowing aura around it and the bright purple petals complement the earthy-green leaves.

Macro Week #3 Day 1: Delicate
As promised, here’s the 3rd edition of macro week. Progressing in chronological order, this is from the entrance to the graveyard opposite campus. It was raining for a minute so the droplets are as delicate as the flower – a nice complement.

Start of Macro Week #2
Leicester campus doesn’t have the most exotic flowers but I tried to make the most of them (my macro lens definitely helped).
