August details up-close
Comments (0) I got bitten all over taking these simple photos. I’m not sure they were worth it, however. I did discover that my interest in macro photography is not primarily artistic – I have very little artistic ability. It’s more about using the macro lens as a microscope, to see the tiny details that are not visible to the naked eye.
-
- Up close, you can see that this tiny individual flower is just starting to push its way out to the world.
-
- The tiny, candy-cane stripes are visible through the technology of macro photography.
-
- It now looks like an ice cream cone with a side of flowers.
-
- I call this a thorn with a crown. It looks like a mystical underwater creature but is really just the flower atop a thorn weed.
-
- This seed pod caught my eye for its simplicity and resemblance to a rattle. My next project will be to photograph the seeds inside the pod.
-
- I love capturing these side-of-the-road commoners just before they fully flower.
-
- The pattern of hen and chicks reminds me of an artichoke, not that I eat them or have ever cooked one.
-
- You may not notice the silhouetted ants on first glance at this seen from behind view of a hosta flower.
-
- I have no idea what this fluffy plant is. All I know is it's a sign of fall.
-
- Even though this purple coneflower is nearing its end it still has a lot to show.
