This week we are posting close up/macro photos. This is probably my favorite type of photography. I am always amazed by the little surprises in the photos once they are on the computer – things you don’t see when you take the picture. About a year ago, I invested in a “super” macro lens which brings things even closer. The picture below was taken with that lens and is the center of a poinsettia.
Although you get amazing detail – the lens has a huge learning curve.
The next 2 photos were taken with the traditional macro lens. I loves the detail and colors of the caterpillar and you can also see why pinecones hurt when you step on them.

Every so often I attempt abstract photography. This is a macro photo of white plates with green poster paper for the background.
A few weeks ago – I tried the oil and water droplet photography. There are several tutorials online and it takes much patience and lots of photos. Here is the result:
In the first one I used flash and second one – no flash.

These are dried camellias. I think they are just a pretty in this stage. To join in on this challenge go here – https://ceenphotography.com/2020/08/11/cees-fun-foto-challenge-special-request-wilting-dead-or-aging-flowers-and-leaves/
All my life, I have always enjoyed taking pictures. Around 2008 is when I became more serious about it. I have found that through photography I notice things more such as the details of a flower, a little insect or the beautiful markings on what might be considered a “plain” bird.
Here is a macro of a flower where you can see the bits of pollen and dirt as well as the shades of yellow and green.
This little bug is a soldier beetle – kinda cute I think.
This is a common grackle. These birds can empty a feeder in no time but if the sun hits their feathers just right, you can see beautiful rainbow colors and their eyes are a pretty golden color.

I participate in a Macro Monday Flickr group and this week’s theme is vegetables – so I thought I would share my macro cucumber photo with all of you. It’s amazing what you see when you get close!
