Day 106

A simple daffodil I found while walking around Westport.

Day 105

I had this golden glittery pillow and had this idea to put it behind the chrysanthemum and set my 500mm lens to f/4 to get some pretty bokeh in the background. It was a little harder than I thought to accomplish, because the pillow was too small. This is the result.

Day 53

As promised another macro shot today, once again I used my 100mm macro lens with the 35mm extension tube attached. I lite the orchid with a flash thru umbrella at 1/2 power and used 2 daylight bulbs on each side and behind the orchid. This photo is just a small piece of the inside of the orchid. I added a little texture to it to give it more depth.

Day 52

Today I got a bouquet of mixed flowers so I imagine this week will be dedicated to macro shots. This flower is only about 1 inch in size. I used my macro lens with a 35mm extention tube.
