The great thing about macro photography is that you can do it any time any where. My parents have so many different kinds of trees in their yard I am thinking of doing a botanical study just on leaves. This one had the standard post processing. I tried doing a spot healing brush on the… Continue reading Day 34 – Birch Leaf

Day 30 – Marigold with bee
Gotta love serendipity. I was all set up to shoot this beautiful Marigold when the bee obligingly came along and posed for me. Just a small amount of detail added in post and a little center highlight on the bee. The flower was definitely already saturated and warm enough!
Day 28 – Feather
The Oregon Coast is certainly a landscape photographers dream but one of my favorite things to photograph is feathers and shells on the beach. This one I processed to bring out as much color and detail as possible.
Day 24 – Curly Bark
As I have been walking my Mother’s dog each morning I have been fascinated by the bark on the Madrone trees along one stretch of the walk. So, I decided to bring the little camera along yesterday. What I learned was that dog walks and camera walks don’t mix. He expects me to stop and… Continue reading Day 24 – Curly Bark
Day 23 – Lithia Park
Lithia Park in my hometown of Ashland, Oregon was recently voted among the top 25 city parks in the country. I don’t know who gets to decide these things but it is a nice park. I hesitated to post this image because it is somewhat cliche where Ashland is concerned. Stand on one of the… Continue reading Day 23 – Lithia Park
Day 22 – Japanese Maple
I took a camera walk with the EOS-M through Litha Park yesterday, the first of many I hope. I was especially fascinated by the backlighting on the leaves and seedpods of the Japanese Maples in the Japanese gardens. I’m also going to have to make the trip with the “big girl” camera one of these… Continue reading Day 22 – Japanese Maple
Day 5 – Hydrangea
Yep, I’m back in the garden. It seems I am going to have to get through helping Mom with Fourth of July preparations before I can get out on a full blown photo shoot. But, in the meantime there is plenty of subject matter in the garden! I did my traditional post processing approach on… Continue reading Day 5 – Hydrangea
Rose center
I’m deep in the moving process now so this is another image from last week’s trip to the rose garden. I’m planning to make up for it with a new 100 days project when I get back to Oregon. I have been debating whether to start a separate blog for that or just post the… Continue reading Rose center
Pi nk Rose
Amidst the chaos of moving I gave myself a morning off to visit the rose gardens this week. Some of the roses were near peak, some past and some still waiting to bloom. I found myself wishing I had gone the day after the generous rains we received a week or so ago. This image… Continue reading Pi nk Rose
New Oak Leaves
On my trip to Arizona a couple of weeks ago I had it in mind to do a lot of macro photography in Oak Creek Canyon. Between road construction and wind it didn’t really happen as I had planned. But I did get a few shots off between wind gusts and this one captured my… Continue reading New Oak Leaves
