BACKYARD MACROS

I took these two macros in my backyard yesterday to experiment with adding textures.  I used the same "Flypaper" texture on both ("Dangerous Liasons"), and these photos are the results.

BUMBLE BEE

Here's a shot from the Baytown Nature Center a few weeks ago.

SEED POD

This flower and seed pod was photographed one afternoon in my front yard.  I shot it with my 60mm Olympus macro lens handheld at f18 ISO400 1/125 and an EV of -2.7.

FLOWER BUD MACRO

I'm still breaking in my new 60MM macro lens, mostly by shoot what's available in my back yard.  I thought this one looked pretty good - look out Steve Schuenke! :)

BLUE AND ORANGE

This was my second BAPC Honor's Night entry under the assignment of "Complementary Colors".
