Intro to macro: How to shoot closeups and bokeh
close up
WOW talk about a macro week! That one trip got me a lot of amazing images.
A few weeks ago, I was out in Meadowlark when it was kinda drizzling outside. It made for amazing macro shots like this one. Do you guys like shots like this? I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I really like taking close up shots. It’s like discovering a whole new world to photograph. Let me know your thoughts.
From far away I think this looks like an angel.
Walking around Meadowlark Gardens I found these unusually feathery things. I couldn’t even tell you what they are, but I loved all the water droplets ont hem and all the lines it created. You gotta pay close attention to your surroundings to get an image like this.
Happy Weekend Everyone!
As you are reading this, I will be enjoying the Florida sun in Miami! I’m going there for a marketing conference, but I’ll also make the time to get you guys some sunrises and sunsets.
So, here’s what happened this past week:
I was soo honored to be featured in Travel Channels Best Fall Foliage Shots:
I also wrote an article. I’m officially a published author!
Now for some of the images:
If this past week had a theme, it would definitely be nature’s beauty. See what I mean:
I had four different images from Great Falls. The first one was from a really foggy morning. Then I had a sunrise that was really pink. These two images were a few minutes from each other, but you can see the difference in sky here and here.
I revisited one of my favorite images from the Shenandoah Mountains last year and got really close to a spider in Great Falls.
Hope you all have a great weekend and prepare for some beach images!

I went out with my new friends William and Mike to Great Falls Park. This time I had my macro with me instead of wide angle. It put a whole new perspective to the park, paying attention to the details instead of the water.
It may have also been that it was 10am instead of 5am.
