Here is the stem of an odd plant we found while at the park. This stem is only about the width of a nickel. The plant had little green berries that resembled tiny pumpkins, and much smaller flower-like blooms with a very small berry inside. Violet crushed one of the berries and it contained a black gooey seed and smelled strongly of green peppers.
This flower was about the size of a dime, covered in delicate petals that graduated from magenta at the bottom of the flower to white at the top. I took a bunch of shots as you can see, and also tried something new with the image series. See below...
I'm trying something a little different today. I wanted to try out zooming and panning in super macro, and had to construct these movies from a set of individually shot images to make the movies. Anyway, we'll see if there's something cool here. They're real simple, so don't get your hopes up too much!
I'm currently shooting macro with:
-Canon 40D
-Canon 300D
-Canon MP-E 65mm dedicated macro lens
-Sigma 18-125mm f3.5-5.6
-Raynox 2.5x macro filter attachment
-Canon 50mm f1.8 prime
-Canon 580EX II Speedlight
-Canon 420EX Speedlight
-2 slave strobes and umbrellas
My photographic influences include, but are not limited to: Felice Frankel, every Rolling Stone photographer, every National Geographic photographer, and Kenneth Libbrecht.
