Lighting from Above

On very cold days, or windy, or gray days, when outdoor photography is just not an option, indoor macro is the next best thing. This flower was lit from above and is sitting in front of black velvet, taken with a macro lens.

mauve macro

I've been taking lots of macro flower shots the last few days.
The garden is beautiful, with color and lush green foliage.
It is always best this time of year, before the dry heat of July and August.
Macro photography lets the details be shown, more than you are usually aware.

ant macro

Sometimes you just have to stop and notice the small stuff.
Appreciate it all....
the majestic mountains and expansive oceans, 
and the tiny ants and flakes of pollen.
 It's all there for you to explore.

Exploring with a macro lens forces the photographer to look for little things.
It's just like looking through a magnifying glass.
Things appear that you didn't see before.

The macro lens allows some creativity and an appreciation of details.
