A New Day...

Well, here I go again! I said I'd post consistently and look whats happened!

I've been learning so much. Such fun stuff. Like how to use Karo Syrup to make tiny prisms. I love this shot. Thanks to Bryan Peterson & Jon Canfield at ppsop.net for explaining this process. So easy. Lay a printed sheet/fabric/texture under a sheet of glass. Mine was about a foot above. Works best with bright light shining on it.

Add dollups of cold syrup on top of glass then angle the camera to see the reflections. Isn't this cool. I called this one "Woman's DNA" since it's all about shoes, purses, hats, etc.

This tiny little flower revealed such humor. You can't see it with your naked eye (since when do we put clothes on eyes?) but with close-up lenses (I used all three extension tubes on a 28mm lens) you get to see such amazing details. This reminds me of little people just peeking over the edge to see who's entered their kingdom.

They really should have names...like Burt, Olley, Pete, Hank, & Tom.

This little flower blossom in about the size of a green pea. Can you understand how tiny these seeds are? Really fun discovery.






Now this one really made me giggle. Like wet my pants funny. I've had this star fish in my bathroom for years.

Never felt like I was being watched until one day, while dusting it, I noticed this cute guy. What a show he's been catching every day!

The textures were so nice and up close you can see the pattern emerge, but his little face was the prize.


Hope this encourages you to look at things in a whole new way. Maybe it's for a photo, or maybe it's that part of life that is boring, painful, or taken for granted.
