Getting in Close
I don’t do a lot of macro or close-up photography, but like most of us, I’m always looking to expand my skills. This weekend I participated in a close-up photography workshop with photographer Julie Waterhouse. Julie is a skilled photographer and teacher with a keen eye for detail and an infectious attitude towards learning and discovery. I really enjoyed getting out of my comfort zone and trying different things during the workshop and if you’re not familiar with Julie I encourage you to check out her website or sign-up for her free photo-tips newsletter.
I’m still working through processing my images so you’ll see more in the coming days but here’s the first from this weekend’s workshop.

That sure is getting in close! Wonderful color and detail!

Nicelyt done!

Nice Edith, I agree with Jim that those soft shadows are gorgeous!

Sweet! Great lighting and I really like the composition here. I would have made the petals radiate from one of the bottom corners but I think your composition works much better.

Thanks so much Mark. This was taken during the workshop and while I was focusing (no pun intended) on composition I was trying to experiment with different apertures and using reflectors.

I like the variation of the color tones in this one, Edith.

Thank you so much for visiting and for your comments. I shot with a Canon 7D and a Tamron 90mm Macro lens.
November 12, 2012 at 8:05 pm
Thanks Edith, I’ve been looking at the Tamron 60mm but the 90mm is now an option, I guess a trip to the camera shop is in order.
November 12, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Thanks for the additional info Edith. I’ve been looking at the Tamron 60mm macro. Guess a trip to the camera shop is needed to try them both out.
November 12, 2012 at 9:01 pm
My pleasure.
