Grass and Flower

I was playing with some gumped up gear from yesteryear and made this. My plan was to take ultra close-up shots of flowers and kept running into the grass. I decided to use the two together and at the same time take advantage of the breeze. So it's a soft image of nature. When you work close depth of field falls off to almost nothing. It's hard to find focus anywhere especially if it's breezy. I remember my head hurt after scrunching up my left eye in concentration to get this. It was worth it.

Flower Tree

We were at a friends house and this place is loaded with cool stuff to make images of. I never know what to shoot. Sometimes you have to be selective if everything looks easy. Flowers are relatively easy. Lets face it, people like them as though they were innocent babies. The normal view would have been just another pretty flower. I think with this up view, we might see what an ant might. Think of the aroma the ant enjoys, and what a view!

Carpet

There seemed to be a carpet of these little things right beside the road. I found a spot where there were no nip bottles or cigarette butts and studied this before beginning. I wanted to convey what I saw happening. I didn't have good light, so my depth of field was important, and then I "hoped" for enough of a breeze to get things stirred up. I think I got it.
