This site is and has been an outlet for my enjoyment of Macro Photography. None of these photos have been edited or enhanced other than to be cropped down to fit here. All photos before Oct 2019 were taken with my trusty Canon PowerShot A710IS - which has been a GREAT first macro photography camera and still produces good shots. Photos are now being taken with a Canon 50D body and Canon 100mm macro lens.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger27125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733103549493342480.post-73433533530397527422020-06-12T13:46:00.000-07:002020-06-12T13:50:11.241-07:00Bee in flight with pollen on it's body; Wasp close up<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

It's nice to see the bees out back working the flowers again .. here are a couple of photos taken with my Cannon 50D and 100mm Macro lens.<br />

This camera is helping me to get a better understanding of how to capture a well composed macro shot. I'm doing everything on "Manual" mode so I can control all aspects of the photo: shutter, aperture, ISO, focus and composition. It's actually kind of fun - like a balancing act.. wanting to speed up the shutter for the flying bee's, but not wanting to increase the ISO to much .. etc - I'm learning.<br />
<br />
The PowerShot was a great starter macro camera (as can be seen in the quality of the fly photo taken with it), but this 50D is a good step to a better understanding and some better captured images. <br />

A barrel that collects rain water had what appeared to be a perfect water drop formed on it, but the "drop" was going up - opposing gravity. I've included two photos; the first showing the drop close up. <i>(As with all my photos here, they have only been cropped - there is no other editing of the images.) </i><br />
<br />
I think this is a striking photo with the air bubbles suspended in the middle running from top to bottom, or is that bottom to top..? It has become one of my favorite of all time photos that I've taken. <br />
<br />

I think it's important as it shows the environment of the above photo. It also shows the background colors that become blurred in the macro shot which create the pleasing refraction's and reflections in the frozen water.<br />

The final photo is of a second water barrel that also has a frozen water formation growing up out of it. This one looked like sword or even an old glass Christmas light. It also has bubbles of air suspended inside the frozen water. It too was very cool!<br />

This watch raised the bar for me. It looks good in the light and dark; it has a Sapphire crystal, water resistant to 200 M, Solar powered, stainless bracelet, alarm, timer, ... I enjoy wearing it.<br />
<br />

<br />
This watch has a cool track timing / speed feature that I've not had opportunity to use yet.<br />
<br />
I really like how the hands glow so well that they light the face of the watch. And the blueish color looks good.<br />
<br />
All in all - it's a Great watch!<br />
<br />
If you come across one - snatch it up if it's a fair price as it will probably be working and looking good. <br />

This was my first (<i>or second</i>) Citizen Eco-Drive (<i>solar</i>) watch. It came with the bracelet, but was too small. I looked for additional links, but was not able to locate any from Citizen or the internet.<br />

The confusion it causes is part of the fun of wearing it. It's not a put on and forget type of watch (<i>like my H144 is</i>). This watch also "<i><b>Plays</b></i>" the time nicely.<br />

Late this afternoon, I put my camera on the tripod and headed out back to see what I'd find.<br />
<br />
The sun was low in the sky, so I knew all the
exposures would have to be long, so pictures of moving bugs and flowers
was out. Thankfully the wind was light and I focused on walking the fence
line where the sun was still casting it's rays. Photos started with partial second shutter speeds and went up to 2 1/2 seconds.<br />

<b>photo1</b>- I don't know what kind of plant this is: it is a
vine with sharp stickers on it, but this portion is being eaten. As I
was focusing on the leaf I'm sure I saw a very tiny critter run down the
edge of the leaf..that was a very small critter!<br />
<br />
<b>photo2 </b>- I think the stem is from the same vine - but not sure.<br />
<br />
<b>photo3 </b>- The galvanized nail is part of the fence where the wood has been worn away or come off.<br />
<br />
<b>photo4</b> - The dogs almost look like ghosts as they play with the dog on the other side of the fence. (There are two 'ghost dogs' there, the second is a little more active and more difficult to see.)<br />
<b>photo5</b> - This photo was exposed for over 2 seconds, but there is little or no movement of the 'headless' dog.<br />
<br />
Forty five photos later, the sun had set, and I was walking in thankful for getting 30 minutes with my camera outside. Looking that closely to small things we don't normally see is good.<br />
<br />

or after the capturing of these images too</i></b>.)<br />

There are so many variables and moving parts / targets with macro photography. None-the-less, it's fun to try. I think it's time to start looking for a flash solution - I'll have to read up on it.<br />
<br />
Now I know the shotgun shots aren't macro, but they too were fun to capture today. It's neat to see the pellets en-route and the clay pigeon start to be impacted and breakup as the pellets intersect with it. I with I would have bumped the shutter speed up as there was plenty of light it would have been neat to see what the images looked like with 1/800 or 1/1600 or more even .. next time! :)<br />

<br />
It is very neat and close up looks like row after row of prickly branches, as seen in the below photos. You can see the black on the tips and I was told that the sting is very effective - which I took his word for.<br />
<br />
This was the first time I've seen one of these and the first time I was able to photography one as it crawled around in the afternoon sun.<br />

This week I purchased a used Canon 50D for a good value. Some might ask "why?" if you already have a 40D; I guess the possibility of a slightly better camera at a good value and now having two 'good' cameras were factors.<br />
<br />
With work and cold weather I've not gotten a chance to wonder around and try the 50D out, but it feels good in the hands, just like the 40D does. I think I'm set on camera bodies now. The next purchase will likely be a full frame sensor, but not for a while. These may be considered 'old' cameras, but they still take very good pictures - especially behind a good quality lens <i>(no matter it's age)</i>.<br />

After walking around out back with my camera, just about to come and put it away I saw this beetle. The colors were very amazing and looking through the viewfinder it seemed like I could see through the translucent into the eye of this beetle - which made photographing this beetle more personal (as seen in the second photo). <br />
<br />
This photo is where I found the beetle. And after a brief photo shoot in the setting sun, the beetle was returned to the same location .. and soon crawled away.<br />

I like Citizen's Eco-Drive watches and REALLY like that they are solar powered and never need a battery.<br />
<br />
Below is a picture my favorite watch: It's a Citizen H144. It's simple, but does what it supposed to do very well - it always has the correct time (to the second) and always has the correct date! When I travel the watch can be adjusted to where ever it's at and continue to give correct information. It's also nice to look at, has a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 200m. <br />

It has taken some amazing macro shots - enough to let me know I enjoy taking them and would like to take the next step at some point. Just this week was that point when I purchased the macro lens used, with out even having a camera to host it.<br />

The lens (<b><u>Canon Macro 100mm</u></b>) purchase, or what my grandpa would say was "<b>putting the cart before the horse</b>", put me into the market for a horse. After considering a contemporary digital SLR, I found a good old horse that I think still has some life in her - a <u><b>Canon 40D</b></u> with a <u><b>Canon 28-135mm IS</b></u> lens attached.<br />
<br />
This weekend I was able to put the cart and horse together and start taking photos again .. WOW .. what a Great camera and lens!! The take away was I need to manage my motion and I need to get a flash rig. There were some images I didn't capture due to blur, but, it was still fun and I have a few decent shots to show for the learning and fun process.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the highlights - taken with my new horse and cart!<br />

It's a cold February day today, but as is often the case there have been enough warm days already that the fruit trees have budded and are begining to blossom. (The red ones are apple and the white are plum.)<br />
<br />
If you look closely at the apple blossom you can see what looks to be a small bug / parasite?? <br />

I didn't have my camera, so I had to use my phone.<br />
<br />
Right beside my enjoyment of Macro Photography would be Weather Photography. The weather we get here is far from tame! I have many photos of the sky full of clouds boiling in this greenish-blue color and have taken hundreds of photos at a time to capture 3 or 4 photos of lightning.<br />
<br />

<br />
One days like this I'm thankful I don't have to ride a motorcycle to work!

Any one know what it is?<br />
<br />
I was able to take a few shots of it through the windshield before it left. Still impressed with my little inexpensive Canon PowerShot and it's Macro abilities.<br />
<br />
Please let me know if you know the name of this bug. Thanks.<br />

As he captured it, it made it's tale-tale sound/noise. We put it on the side walk and took some macro photos of it. The wings almost look like the veins of a leaf. And the three little 'eyes' in the front - what are those??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Behind it's eye on the head are a whole bunch of those little white things, that remind me of little insects on this little insect. Unfortunately they are too small for my camera. This whole bug is about 1" long. Those little yellowish-white things are in the thousands of an inch or maybe even smaller.</div>
