Macro photography of a Passionflower and Palm trunk. How to come upwith awesome images

-




Imagine what these would look like if you took the shot of just the passionfruit vine with a flower in the corner ?

 Wouldn't it lose its impact ? Would it look half as good as it does moving close in to take a macro image where  the entire frame is filled with the flower ?

 These photos were taken with the flash off and on macro setting - best to use a tripod unless your camera has a built in anti-shake  or you have steady hands or take the photo

 with your arms close to your body for extra support.    Don't you think the second photo looks a bit like a lobster ?   The beauty of macro is that you can take a small piece of something and

 come up with a fantastic abstract image that is pure photo art.  Give it a try.     Look around for something you can photograph small parts of, or in a different way and see what you can come up with.

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 :)
