This was all done handheld, single shot (no focus stacking) without taking much care, but just looking and firing.
I liked this one, peering past the petal into the yellow heart of the flower.
Then, I thought that I would see what I could do with a tiny bud almost hidden underneath the larger blooms. If you know these plants, then you know just how tiny these buds are. Without a tripod, I am happy enough with the result.
If you would have told me that last photo was of a bright purple bug, I would have believed you! Nature is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, AC.
ReplyDeleteThe texture is amazing!!!! Can't wait to see the cat!
ReplyDeleteI want to bring them home everytime I see one in the media, but we have to keep stasis now. Both are getting along, and things are settling out.

ReplyDeleteI like that first one. Joanne is right. O
ReplyDeleteYou are having TOO MUCH FUN! Fascinating.
ReplyDeleteYou are challenging me!! I do a bit of macro in summer with bugs, but now you make me want to try at home. I have a tripod...so no excuse.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! Especially the bud...
ReplyDeleteI love macro...anything. These are great.

There is something a bit surreal about that bud - it looks like some kind of creature from outer space, very much alive! :) I like it very much. It's such an unusual take on this plant.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful way to view nature.
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
