The object of this challenge is to find interesting details in every day objects. This does not have to be macro photography. It can for example be a large detail of a building or an interesting detail of a car. Of course small macro detail is always a great subject to photograph.
Please keep images at 1600 pixels wide or 1050 pixels high.
Getting out of our car in the garage, a glance to the left brought this image to the imagination. It is an lawn edger that had been hung without cleaning the soil etc from it. it creates an eerie, apocalyptic scene. I decided not to remove or edit the shadows as I thought they added to the mystery. Shot at 1/500 sec, f4.5 ISO-10000 (camera set to auto ISO). Used Topaz DeNoise AI to remove some noise. Focal length was 95mm
Love it! Great find Jim.
Spent an hour in the Zoo”s butterfly garden practicing with my new macro lens.
The Oregano blossoms at end of summer always bring out the bumblebees in our garden. I managed to capture one in flight moving between the flowers.
Aperture Priority, f/3.5, 1/1000 sec
Cropped in Photoshop Elements
Another butterfly detail
I decided to take a walk through the Silver Springs Botanical Gardens today. It is almost finished. Probably suffering from lack of watering. Lots of flowers are nearing the end of their life cycle. Lots of bees and wasps. This is a picture of one healthy bee still looking for pollen. Taken with my Tamron SP AF 90 mm macro lens: FL 90mm, S 1/640, F 6.3, ISO 640. Sharpened with Topaz AI
