Today’s effort was a reminder that although flowers don’t have wings or legs, they’re not easy to catch every time. Some flowers are more prone to wind than others, and this large flowered glory of the snow wouldn’t sit still for a moment. After a few frames I gave up, hoping that I would have…

I came home to a lot of colour in my little garden, now I have all my five species of spring flowers in bloom. The crocuses are peaking, snow drops are almost over bloom and the other species are just starting. I couldn’t wait to get out the macro lens so I shot a few…

It’s been a sunny day and it’s the beginning of a flower explosion in the garden. Lots of crocuses starting to bloom, some snow drops which have managed to fight their way through the grass and then I’m just waiting for the other flowers, I think I planted two other sorts in the autumn so…

I was going to buy a flower so I could shoot the buds, and then the developing flower, and then the withering flower, which was inevitably going to happen because I’ve never succeeding in keeping an indoor plant alive. Yes I know it’s ironic that a person who’s interested in flowers can’t take care of…

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of about introversion and extroversion. There’s no question that I’m an introvert, and I’ve learned to understand a lot of things about myself the more I’ve read about the subject. One thing that is strongly related to (but not necessarily a part of) introversion is something which is called…

It’s been a nice weekend, especially today with what must be the warmest temperature of the summer so far (or maybe not – I hear it was really warm during my vacation). I did some scouting yesterday, primary target was to find flowers but the most exciting thing I came across was some over-bloomed butterfly…

Here’s one funny thing. I’m not sure if I’m in love with macro the way I was for a few years ago. I’m walking around in a field of flowers and I’m… lost. I don’t know what to do with them. So here’s what I’m thinking. Maybe I’ve come to the end of the road…

Surprise, I have a new lens in the bag! I’ve been wondering about this problem of mine when going on hikes and trying to carry light, that I most often have to sacrifice the heavy 150mm macro. Which then leaves me only with the ”macro” function on the 24-105mm lens, and let’s be honest… it…

I think I mentioned last year that I might convert my old 40D to infrared when I bought my new camera. But then somebody wanted to buy the 40D and I had to decide between making money on it, or spend money on it. Kind of a no-brainer! But I was still interested in infrared,…

I have some more flowers coming up now, so I got to try my white theme on non-white flowers. The fake background sure has some benefits, as for example with this glory of the snow the natural background was a disaster and I couldn’t have pulled off anything usable even with the lens wide open,…
