Back to Macros

I hadn't done any macro photography for a week or more, but with Sue out and with nothing else to do, it was time to play again.

I returned my attention to the good ole polka dot plant and later focus-stacked 6 photos that were shot sans flash.

Then I used the flash for 8 photos this time — 8 photos, and I still didn't get everything in focus.

I find that there is just a little more life to the avec flash version, and although you can't really tell at this resolution, the background is a little less dark and somewhat more textured.

I put away both the tripod and the flash, lay the petals on glass to see if I could get a reflection, which I did get a little bit: one shot, handheld, no flash.

Something unique happened today. After the big snow on Tuesday and Wednesday, there was some melting today (Friday). No, there's not a whole lot of warming in the forecast for the next two weeks, but one still feels a modicum of optimism.
