Day 2: The Garden at Starlight Farm


Today seemed like a great day for some macro photography; there was dew all over everything and the sun was out and shining strong.
The first picture is of a little rose plant. All of those droplets are dew! :)
This year, we decided to try a blueberry bush. It's amazing!! It hasn't grown very much, but we've enjoyed delicious blueberries all summer. It only produces a couple at a time, but they're great!
Both of these pictures were taken with a stacked +1 and a +2 macro filter.

Now I have to go work. Today, I'll be working on a mesa near my house pulling mullen. I did this last Wednesday and pulled over 600 mullen plants! There's no shade and it's looking like it's gonna be a hot one today D:
Until tomorrow,
Colin

WOW! I love the rose petal picture. The blur seems a little bit excessive to me... maybe a higher camera angle would have been better. And nice blog design! I'm also a huge fan of blue gradients for my website :)

Yep, I figured out how to download a custom template :)
I see what you mean about the blur. It's always a tradeoff with macro filters between lots of zoom and a very shallow DOF. :-/

What's your Web site??

Yep, the rose petal is great. The blur is kind of nice though, it really obscures the object - I didn't realize what it was at first. Plus, the center of the flower in the background might have been too distracting for the viewer to focus on the water droplets well.
