Tulip

I went on a bit of a hiatus last week, but now that there is stuff to get done outside, there may be a hiatus here and there. I have a few tulips blooming right now, so I took a few photos yesterday. Considering the bunnies roaming around our yard, I'm surprised I have any tulips!

Used a #4 close-up filter on my big lens. The sun was so bright that I had to do quite a bit of post-production to keep the highlights from blowing out completely.

New Do

Took mom to get a cut and perm today, so I thought I'd get a picture of the new hairdo. She's my curly-cue lady again. And when we pick out the curls, she's a nice fuzzy poofball.

Held off-camera flash at arm's length. A little post-production, including vignetting.

Fence

I didn't have time for a photo shoot today. But I did take a documentary photo of part of our new fence. Isn't it lovely? Ok, so it doesn't look like a fence yet. But it was a lot of hard work getting it this far, so I thought I'd at least take a picture of it.

Pins and Needles

It was still raining today, so I thought I'd wrap up the week with more close-up photography.

See you next week!

I decided to try my big lens this time and it went much smoother than yesterday. Used a +4 close-up filter. Post-production in Photoshop and Lightroom.

Chicklets for Adult Girls

It's raining cats and dogs today, so I had plenty of time for photography practice. I decided to work on a little product photography, which can really frustrate me at times. Several hours and 62 images later, I finally finshed for the day.

I used my +4 close up filter. I couldn't get the gems lit the way I wanted, no matter how hard I tried. I did tons of post-production in Photoshop and Lightroom.
