A leaf beetle, shot on a bright summer day at a small park near home.
A macro shot of a beautiful red rose in full bloom.
I've been fiddling with a new 10x macro filter, mostly because I'm too cheap to go out and buy a full on macro lens. I'm a big fan of coffee--I love the taste, and loved the smell of the beans years before I started drinking it. I thought this would make an interesting shot, especially since I used a very wide lens opening to shrink down the depth of field.
A new take on my morning coffee. I've been doing some experimentation with macro photography. This image popped into my head last night, so I thought I'd give it a try this morning.
We have a couple of cottoneaster bushes in front of our house and while the leaves turn color, they usually don't drop off. This, along with the fact that we had some ice that formed over a few of the branches, made for some nice pictures. I just got a 10X macro filter for my camera, which effectively turns any lens into a macro. I shot several pictures of this plant over the past couple days, and this is one of my favorites.
