Macro of Tiger Lily

Ok shooters! The Tiger Lily is one of my favorite flower subjects. The brilliant orange and yellow colors of this flower drives any bee species crazy. I used a Fujifilm X10 rangefinder camera set to macro for this shot. Actually, all the macro shots for this month were taken with the X10. The macro feature on cameras also helps create shallow depth of field. The shutter speed of 1/500 Sec. and the aperture of f/4.0 created the depth of field necessary for this visual perspective.

Macro of Lily

Hey photo gang! Here is another in the series of macro shots for this month. The lily flower shown is called the wedding lily. This is an example of how you can crop down to the image from a larger photo. Give it a try!

Macro Photo

Hello my photo friends! This month I'm going to showcase several close-up images. How is this type of photo done, you may ask? First one has to understand that a close-up image is produced utilizing the correct camera setting. Your camera probably has a image icon of a flower. Turn on this setting and take as many pictures as needed to get the right image that you like. The one I took here was not as close as it looks. I simply cropped the photo in photoshop to make it appear even closer. You can do this even with your smart device, but a point and shoot camera will give you better results. So, get out your camera, a flower out there is ready for you. This type of image displays how the world is small around us, and how it really comes to life when we photograph it.
