iPhone 13 Pro Max Macro Mode
I love macro photography. True marco 1:1 magnification (or greater) has been a long time favorite of mine for many years. The butterfly in this post was one such shot I took a while back with a Nikon 105mm Macro lens. When Apple announced the new iPhone 13 received a “close focus” lens i was…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Purple, Oil and Water
This is for the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge of Purple. I hate posting the same old thing, and trying to find unique and creative ways to do things is just one thing I love about photography. The photo above happens to also serve as my Project 365 photo for Day 243, getting closer and closer…

The Most Colorful Macro Flower Edition of Friday Feet
I thought I would make today’s Friday Feet the most colorful set of flowers shot in this series. I spent most of the day in blasting 100*F heat cutting acres of dry grass so this was a nice break. The flowers are from the Stephens family from after their service yesterday (see previous post). They…

Testing the Old Oil and Water Theory Close Up :: Photos
Something totally different for today. I thought I would try a little abstract photography last weekend. No special post-processing or photoshop on these images, just a simple mix of oil and water on a red and green flag. I always wanted to try some super closeup shots like this and I could have gotten in…

A Nasty Tomato Hornworm Caterpillar Closeup
This is just about as perfect a photo of the day as I can get for summer in the south. These nasty things attack our tomato plants every year and they look so much like the plant leaves they are almost impossible to see. The only part you see is the evidence they were there…

Summer Food Photo of the Day with Red Seedless Grapes
My photo of the day sorta screams summer to me… fresh fruit. I love red seedless grapes and when I picked these up yesterday on the way home from work they were too good not to shoot. These shots are never as easy as I think they are going to be but I like the…

Macro Photography of the Phalaenopsis Orchid Flower
I took this set of photos of my Father-in-law’s orchid while I was at his house for the festival and just now got around to posting some pics of them. This Phalaenopsis Orchid apparently comes in a huge variety of colors, this one just happens to be white with a tiny bit of yellow and…

Saturday Morning Macro Flowers Before the Heat Arrives
I think I spent an hour or longer last night looking for a single wildflower to shoot and found nothing. We have had so little rain here this summer that nothing wild is blooming, until I woke up this morning and looked right outside my window. I always forget about these tiny little violet wildflowers.…

Southern Magnolia sieboldii Blooms in Early Spring
We have a tiny little Magnolia tree we planted about 3-4 years ago and all it does is bloom like crazy about this time of year. It never seems to grow or put out many leaves but the blooms are very pretty. It’s not the traditional Magnolia tree with the big waxy leaves, I’m pretty…

Nails Before the Trim Up Close
Photo of the day today is something a little different. Love the lighting and soft colors of the manicure before they are all trimmed up. Yes, I was the photographer for this photo shoot. Wasn’t something I had done often, or ever, but it was pretty cool.

Fall is Fire on the Mountain with Yellow Aspen Leaves
Ok, well maybe not here in Auburn, but right now, the Aspen groves of the Rockies are ablaze with color. After flipping back over some fall photos of the last few years I came across this one, taken at this exact time of year, but at the 11,000 foot range in the Rockies. You can’t…

Photos of Spring Wildflowers and Dogwood Blooms
The flowers around town tell us it is Springtime but for the last week or so it has been nothing but cold and rainy so last night before it got dark I did another photo walk-through in the back yard (see part 1 Backyard Dose of Spring Flowers // Photos). There were plenty of wild…

Photography of Wisteria Flowers in Bloom
The backyard is a great place to take some photos of Spring in action. I took these photos last night after I got home from work and it shows the color of Spring can be found just about everywhere right now. The fist shot is the bud stem of the Wisteria plant which is almost…

Closeup Photos of Dogwood Blooms in Spring
I didn’t really think about it like that until this year, but life seems so fragile sometimes, even if we live out the average life span for this country, we will only see, or recognize, this time comes around 50-80 times on average, if we are lucky. I think the first 5-10 Spring season changes…

How To Make a Milk Carton Flash Diffuser Video
This past weekend Deb and I went to Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain Georgia to go for a bike ride and do a little photo and video shooting at the Butterfly Day Center (see my Callaway Gardens Butterflies // Friday Feet). Generally when you are shooting butterflies in an enclosed area you will need some…
