flowers, macro
So it is spring again and I can dust off my macro lens and take it for walks. Flowers make the perfect subject for macros because they don't move unless there is a heavy breeze. You don't have to sit there and wait and wait for them to turn their heads to you. You don't have to lead them in flight. You don't have to worry about being bitten or stung.
Sometimes you get a little surprise when you get home. Ever so often when you open one of your new pictures up, you find that you have a little insect staring back at you.
Flowers are easy. And fun.
I've added several new shots to the Flowers album.

From the page:
Gallery Presentation - photo.net: "Most of my bugs are photographed in the natural environment. I don't chill them, or spray them, or glue them, or nail them down. I will sometimes move some blades of grass or vegetation to get a better view. Even less often, I will try to relocate the bug to a new location. Nonetheless, they are always alive and well when I shoot them. Occasionally I will shoot them on a building (white ones especially) or other man made structure.
My goal when photographing the bug is to present it in a positive light; to show it at it’s best. I especially like intimate portraits, behavior shots, and full body shots with clean and smooth backgrounds."
