Macro May 2024 - Day 19

 

We’ve had buds and now the very first of the blooms. By the end of the week, this rose bush will be covered in hundreds of little roses and i cannot wait!

Macro May 2024 - Day 14

 

It was tough to get a photo today; it was raining as i drove home from work, and as i walked the dog with a friend. Then it was dinner and it kept raining and getting darker as i waited for a break in the rain…that never came. Finally i ventured out trying to balance the umbrella in one hand and my, far too heavy, camera in the other. Lets just say there weren’t too many clear ones as i fought against the conditions...but here is today’s offering.

Macro May 2020 - Day 28

We took a lovely walk out at Chew Stoke today, to the little waterfall. It wasn't a long or strenuous walk, it was really pleasant, with all the green and shade, plus waterfalls, no matter how big or small are always lovely. Pink flower growing from a wall close to where we parked.

I even managed to get a long overdue photo of my three - gasp.

Macro May 2020 - Day 27

Well I couldn't go a whole macro May and not include a rose. I have just two in my garden, in pots. They were miniature roses from last year that started indoors and then I repotted them and they have continued to do quite well. Both have new flowers this year and are providing a tiny bit of colour for me with their lovely velvety petals.

Macro May 2017 - Day 31

Day 31 - and just like that the month is over, one last pretty for you :) thank you for following along!

I love macro photography. The ability to get extreme close ups and focus on details. When you focus on a close object, the depth of field is much smaller and I love this effect, which further draws your eyes to the subject being focused on. It forces me to look at things in a different way. For the month of May I will be taking at least one macro photo a day, to add to my collection. Some may be more artistic than others, some may be more technical but I hope to push myself, grow and have fun. Feel free to follow along and let me know if you are doing a similar project that I can follow or if you have any ideas for something you'd like me to try to shoot.
