Stephen's Macro Thread =)

Stephen.C · Dec 30, 2010

Well, Macro seems to be a new favorite of mine, and I thought, "Hey stephen, Why not just make one thread instead of a bunch of little threads?" and I replied "Hey thats a darn good idea"...And welcome to my consolidated thread!
C&C is always appreciated.
I'll be adding my macro adventures to this thread from now on!
All of these are shot with my Sigma 105mm
Lets start it off with A Violin picture, and a colorful colored pencil

Today I did some first time water drops...I wanted to do something out of the ordinary though, So i added some glitter to brighten some things up =)
First off if my favorite of the bunch.
Thought I should tell how I got the colors for the drops. WELL, the red is a red piece of paper thats behind the black pan that I used for water. I had an SB-600 on camera flash the red paper.
For the blue shots, I put blue painters tape over my flash. Worked quite well IMO.
1: Cherry Blossom.

2:Blue Wonder

3:Orange Sun

4: Glitter Bug

5: Code Red ( I <3 Mtn Dew)

To view the whole set, Clicking on my FLICKR link in my siggy will do the trick!

Now, the water balloon ones arnt really macro, but I would like to put my highspeed water ones here too. Taken with the macro lens

Your water balloon shots are amazing; inclusion of the person's (probably you) expression added to the quality of the image

Awesome shots! love the water balloon ones!

the balloon shots are really cool. Maybe try adding some red food dye so it looks like blood when you're stabbing it with the knife!

The red food dye is a good idea!
