April Assignment

[F, Calla & Luca]

I know it doesn't seem like it's April, well technically we have a few hours, but it's here. The plan this month, cococted by a very small group of us, is to do macro photography. Pictures very close up of flowers--really there will be more or some soon, doodle parts or anything really. Sometimes if it's really close up the object is unrecognizable and if you have such a shot you might want to make us guess what it is. Let's aim for fun again but technical wizardry of any kind always welcome, especially if you explain it. Also let's try to get more people involved with ideas of what to do in future months.

Oh, Ann, I love the way you captured the water dripping down the side of this moss covered tree. The leaves around that knot hole add a lot to the feel of the shot, too. Simply beautiful!

[Donna Vee]

Nice! Perfect timing.

This is wonderful Ann!

This was my first attempt.  Macro, with out blurring is going to be a challenge.  But what a wonderful technique to learn.  This was taken by stepping further away but using the Macro setting.  The photo taken closer with the same setting is not recognizable

I'm placing this here in hopes that by the end of the month there will be a comparison and an improvement.

I hope this is mud and not something else......

It is mud.  This morning at 7:01 am from my phone using Zoom

What's the white stuff?

Keep trying, you'll get it.

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Are you sure that is not a photo of a mud slide occurring??

[Jenny & Henry]

OK, I tried a couple. I don't think the one was on Macro though.  I messed with them a little, not sure exactly what I did though.  ha ha  This first one is my favorite, I love how his ear is laying there.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Love that first photo!

[Camilla and Darwin]

The first photo is gorgeous. I love the way her eye looks...
