Macro 04/12 - 04/18 (Jeff)

Guys, Sorry I am late as well with the post. But I got to play around with the Macro setting, and really had some fun with it. Please Excuse my lateness. But I really am fascinated by this method of photography and will use it later on, probably in more posts! Enjoy!I took this picture just trying out the macro feature. Really fun Stuff!

Hey guys!

Sorry for the late post! I took my picture on Saturday but you know how lazy Sundays go (true that, DOUBLE TRUE)

Anyway, my first shot were these azaleas bushes outside Jeff's house, and unintentionally, I got some nice bokeh! Jeff thinks these bushes are annoying, but I think they're pretty and don't appear to have annoying pollen like easter lilies.

I took the shot from an upward angle, so the bokeh comes from the light coming through the trees.

On Sunday, I got to spend about 3 hours at a Barnes, waiting for Jeff to finish golfing with some church friends, and found this totally awesome book!


(GLEE!)

Here are some more macro shots I took. I try to submit photos to the Pioneer Woman Photography Assignments because she's my favorite food blogger, so some of those pictures are older (namely the hamster and non Miso cat pics).

As with what Mel stated, my first urge was to take of something of nature. However, I also wanted to try something different. After the crazy B-day party for Raul at our house on Saturday night, all day Sunday I was pretty much just cleaning up. When I was doing so, I found on my little "stuff from India" section in my house, three little Indian God's that girlfriend from high school, Sabrina, bought me at this little Indian store in Paris. The tallest one (from left: Ganesh, Vishnu, and Shiva) are only about 1 inch tall. So what I did was in the background when I was in India at Neha's wedding, I bought two stone statues each about 8 inches high of Lakshmi (left) and Ganesh (right) holding up a marble slab painted and mounted inside of a frame. So the focus was on Vishnu in the middle and I tried to use the depth to make the statues in the back look really big, even though they were only a few inches taller. I hope I made Sara proud.




On a side note, I'm annoyed by how Shiva is angled too much, but I was still hungover when taking this, so it was the best I could do.

Very busy weekend for me so I did not have a lot of time to do anything fancy...

On the very first week Sarah posted the sunset progression and I really like it so I wanted to do something involving more than one picture for this week. I took this pictures of a coffee mug, not very exciting subject but I hope that by combining two pictures together they will enhance the effect...

I am not sure if I got the theme right or not.. but I tried to copy Sara's example..





It's the third time I take pictures of plants, I need to find something else...
