Driving down the road to my place there are several areas where wildflowers find a home. They vary in location and in the type of flowers as well. That’s what I love about Nature: It just does it’s thing and I get to enjoy it.
These flowers popped up close to my place this year so I grabbed a few shots as the sun was going down. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did~John
I came across this caboose in a small town and I had to take some pics of it. You see ever since I can remember I have loved cabooses. There was a cool factor to them and also a bit of mystery as well. I am sure the reality was not a impressive as my imagination played it out to be but I still find them cool.
When the caboose was taken out of service by the railroad industry, I was sadden by not seeing them at the end of a train. So when they started being displayed in small towns around the country I was glad. They found a place in these communities and I found photo ops to revisit a little piece of my past.
I decided to photoshop a couple using new-to-me techniques and then use a standard edit another. Enjoy~John
Yesterday I took a detour on my way home to try and find a photo op or three. This is all I found but it’s a start and everyone has to start somewhere. Till the next time Peace~John
Here are a few more macros I took. They are not of nature but cool stuff none the less. Enjoy~John
The rains have finally stopped, for now, and the green and pretty things are starting to wake up. We have had two bad frost this week yet the violets are hanging in there and just being their lovely little selves. The grass on the place is also thriving but lets face it photos of grass are boring, you know as boring as watching grass grow…..anywho moving on… Hopefully over the next few weeks I will be getting more opportunities to shoot nature as it comes to life. Until the next time Peace~John
Macro photography is something I love. Now I want to step up my game and actually learn how to do it. I do have to do it on a budget though. These photos were taking using my Sony A27 using Raynox macro lens attached to my Tamron 90mm lens. I used the camera’s popup flash with a $7 flash diffuser I got off eBay.
Here are a couple pics I took today and so begins my macro journey.
I am bad at titles and really don’t feel like “faking it till I make” today. Here is a mix of old/new pics. Enjoy~John
It has been a bit since I have posted to here. Since that time a lot happened in my life, as life does, and I’m trying to engage here again. Here are several from the last few days and I plan on posting several times a month. As far as what I will be posting it will be a mix of new and old snaps from the way back files. Now here are a few from the last few days. Till Next Time, Peace~John
