Snowflake Macros

These photos were taken with my Nikon D7000 and my Nikkor 105mm/f2.8G Micro Lens.

It's been snowing here in Germany and I'm still working on perfecting the art of snowflake macro photography. They are just so dang hard for me to capture. So beautiful though. You'll always find me outside on a snowy day trying to get that perfect snowflake photo.

Textured Buildings

Today, I'm focusing on textures. I've been noticing a lot of little things lately.

(I love everything going on in this picture)

I took these photos from my village of Steinbach and also the village of Schonenberg Kubelberg here in Germany. I love all the textures these villages have. I saved my doors and windows shots for another day and also I have some pretty awesome shots of my favorite house there. I added a little sneak peek in this post. It's the second photo from the bottom with the red and green, but I'm saving the best for later this week.

All of these were taken with my Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 50mm/f1/8D lens.

Spring is for Pink

Pink is my favorite color in the spring and you can find it everywhere. I loved this pink bike we saw in Luxembourg. Plus pink flowering trees are kind of like magic. Of course I threw in a shot of the pink ranunculus in my garden because I love that flower so much!

My nails are currently pink too but I don't have a photo of that to share today.

Our weather hasn't been much like Spring lately. Yesterday morning it was 37 degrees and SNOWING! Snow, seriously? In mid-April! I'm pretty sure by this time last year we were wearing tank tops, or at least not wearing our heavy winter jackets still! I had to dig out my scarf again. Crazy German weather.

Autumn leaves through my macro lens. I love it!

I'm linking the first photo up with: Favorite Photo of the week Contest, Little Somethings, Texture Thursday, Show Off Your Shot, Macro Monday, and You Capture

Sorry for the photo overload. I am just in love with their colors and patterns.

Macro Flower Buds

Just wanted to pop in really quick and share these marcro shots of a flower bloom.

I used my reverse ring for both of these.
No cropping, not editing. Straight out of my camera.

The ring takes a little patience to get the hang of it. But, I'm getting there. I'm really happy with the way these turned out.

Today I'm linking up with SOOC (straight out of camera)

And Macro Monday

Yes, I know it's Tuesday, I'm a day behind. Sorry.
