So it’s been another while since I’ve posted here. Lockdown contributed to this, as I became quite bored with photography. This eventually passed and I’ve been snapping away again.

I’ve also got the film itch again, so once I’ve developed some film, I’ll be putting the resultant shots up here.

For now, here are a few macro shots I’m quite happy with.

Captures of the Week (so far) : (28/08/19)

Not much to say in this blog post. I went through a spell of not being in the mood to make pictures, which meant that now I’m photographing again, I had to catch up with my – nearly finished – 365 project. This involved going round the flat, trying to make interesting macro photos with my ring-flash! Here follows a selection of the good ones, along with a couple of others.

Captures Of The Week (5/6/19)

After a bit of a hiatus from my blog, I’ve decided to upload my favourite photos from the past week. I’ve also been experimenting by using a raynox 250 on my 70-300mm lense, with mixed results. It works well when it wants to!

I realised after posting this that I included photos from my previous captures of the day (doh!). I still think they’re captures of the week too, so they’ll remain.

Someone asked me for some photos of our dog… I didn’t skimp on them!
A shot from Gunwharf Quays. The water in the pool was a very strange colour, which wasn’t fully captured in this image.
Looking out to sea. Taken at Gunwharf Quays.
A very close up shot of a single lupin flower.
Beautiful blue skies, down by the sea.
Another from Gunwharf Quays. I was really interested by the curves of the structures, which I think was accentuated by the 11-16mm lense.
A false colour shot of some lupin flowers.
And finally, a macro of a poppy, just bursting out.

Captures Of The Day (16/5/19)

I spent a very nice hour and a half at Lake Community Gardens today. Had a mooch with the camera and got some shots I’m happy with.

A horse’s eye, taken with a 70-300mm lense.
While this isn’t an ideal shot, with the undergrowth getting in the way, I’m still pretty happy with it. This goose was sitting, but unfortunately there don’t seem to be any goslings. Taken with 70-300m lense.
Not sure what this flower is. Taken with Lensbaby Edge 35 Optic.
An iris flower, toned black and white. Taken with Lensbaby Edge 35 Optic.
And finally, another shot of the iris, this time in colour. Taken with Lensbaby Edge 35 Optic.
