A few macro shots
I hadn't taken any photos in about 2 weeks and was missing it. So early this morning I went with my old manual-focus macro lens and my tripod and took a few shots.



I know this looks like a fruit, and maybe it is, but it's actually quite tiny. I really know nothing about flowers, so I can't tell you what it is.


This was actually a red flower, but when I used "Channel Mixer" to convert it to b&w, this is how it came out at the default settings (using 100% red channel). I kind of liked it that way.




"Mt. Kleenex"

5. Thank you.
I was pleasantly surprised at how it looked when I did the b&w conversion. Has kind of an infrared film look to it.

3. Mt. Kleenex is really cool.
That is art. Sometimes a photo jumps out at me. This one jumps.


The water drops on the flower also has a special feel to it.

4. Thanks. I really debated about
whether I should even include it. Glad you liked it.

7. These are all great!
Please stop posting such beautiful images to distract me during the day when I'm supposed to be working.



(Note my projection of my problems onto you. Maybe this home office wasn't such a good idea after all... :rofl:)
