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.

You Capture: Technology

This was the one and only thing I could think of technology-wise that didn't involve me lining up our phones, ipods, games, and other electronic devices.

I told my husband what I wanted my picture to look like, and he happily helped me find what I was looking for. He took apart one of our old cell phones to reveal this chip/motherboard/whatchamacallitthingy.

I appreciate it hon.

This is yet another link up to You Capture, and another test of my reverse ring.

It's not the best picture...I was having trouble focusing. I did get some much better shots outside of a flower bud but that's for another post another day.

It'll have to do for now.

P64: Lavender

Lavender was the color this week. One of my favorite colors of all time!! I had so much fun playing around with my camera to capture this color.

This week I decided to try something new. When I found these teeny tiny buds of color popping out of the snow and ice, I decided to get out my tripod and use my macro reverse ring. It was my first time actually trying to use my ring. I'm really happy with the way these first shots turned out. They aren't perfect, but I'm loving that this project is sparking my creativity with my photography! It's a great excuse to make myself try new things!

To get an idea of how zoomed in I was, check out this picture on my flickr, taken from further away. I'm not sure what it is exactly but it's blooming on a some kind of shrubbery.
