Flax Leaf - Macro shot

-







Macro shot of section of Flax Leaf - called Harakeke in NZ

 See how a macro detailed image shows the variety of hues to the best advantage and cuts out distractions.  Now I could have edited out the rust "splotches" but I kind of like seeing nature warts and all and I think it adds to the photo.  What do you think ?

Hi if you are keen to start a blog, Go to Blogger ( or any of the free blogging sites around) and you can get started and be up and running quite quickly - if you haven't done it before it might be a bit of a learning curve but if you like commenting and writing you will probably enjoy it. Good luck and come back to leave your link when you have done it,

Hi - there are quite a few ways - here are a couple - just add the webpage to your favourites and you will be able to access it anytime you want or download a program called Evernote and you can save and "snip" the things you want to keep & have an online file. Perhaps you have a snipping tool on your PC ? Or you could copy and paste and save to your computer if you want to try a recipe rather than keep printing things off & keep a digital version.

More shots from the ladder :)  Looking down on things sure can give you a new slant on things - check out what I spotted from above - I've walked past this golden mossy "sculpture" a stack of times but it looked different with the sunlight shining on it and the Bromeliad from above looked like a mini pond.  Ask Frogs - they love them !

Wonderful Moss Garden - Natures Own Abstract Art

What do you all think of this as natures very own handiwork ? This could almost have been duplicated in a tapestry or made into one of Kaffe Fassett's tapestrys or  knitted works of art or painted into a giant artwork don't you think ? This macro image was one of a very small clump of moss on a concrete step - just goes to show what can happen when you view things differently - we've probably all been just walking over these amazing shots and not giving them a second glance.  Try looking at everyday things like moss, slimy gutter pipes,  mould and rust through your macro lens and see what you can see. Taken again with my trusty Nikon Coolpix of course !   On its macro setting. You too can take awesome shots just seek and you will find :)
