 Pic-of-The-day - "A Closer Look".
This series features homegrown heirloom tomatoes*.  As everyone with a garden knows, when tomatoes turn ripe, they all seem to ripen at the same time. So we had a whole bunch of different types of tomatoes waiting to be bagged & frozen for the winter. I was just going to take a shot or two..  and then got a bit carried away. I tried a few different things with composition, lighting & post production, I think some things worked better than others so, please let me know what you think.

"interesting" new macro lens anounced

A specially macro lens by venus optics that has a max f14, but has a 2:1 ratio.  That sounds pretty cool,  I've seen a few pics of the lens , but none taken WITH the lens.

Here is something that could be cool, or maybe just strange.  
Since it's only been announced I don't think we'll know which until they are out in the wild.

Find out more at No Film School.

 Pic-of-The-day - "Peeking Inside ".
I have  confession. I was never that crazy about macro. Sure it looked cool & could serve a purpose, but it was never that crazy about it, until I tried shooting some macro (not just medium close shots) and then I really got hooked. I can easily see macro progrssing from 'a style I shoot sometimes' to a strange obsession. Luckily I haven't crossed that line, yet... as far as I can tell.

 Pic-of-The-day - "Top Down" (1&2).
I started this day with a plan to get away from my usual spots and shoot something new, but ended up spending about three hours in my front yard.
One advantage to shooting at home is you don't have to worry about what to bring and what to leave behind. All your gear is a few steps away, which in this case meant going down a rabit hole with a macro adaptor & vintage lenses.

 Pic-of-The-day - "Sunset Red". As opposed to the suble colours & blending from yesterday, Todays flowers have bold colours & jagged interactions of the colours instead of blending.

It's finally autumn!

I love Fall!
The less oppressive weather, the softer sun light, the falling leaves, Halloween & the great photo opportunities all appeal to me.

So, in recognition of the 1st day of autumn here in the northern hemisphere I'm starting to post Autumn photos I took last year but didn't get around to posting.

I'll continue posting fall photos in small(ish) batches over the next little while.

Once the signs of fall arrive here in the Niagara region I'll be posting nice fresh fall photos.

*The Cyclops is a view finder that enlargers the LCD image for easier view & help with critical focus. The 72mm flip is the optical element that enlarges the image. It can also be removed and threaded on to a lens to get a macro effect.

Great new show, just in time for the Halloween season!
