my macro adventure

My crop of macro photography.  This was my first experience with macro photography.  I had the lens for a limited time, but am not fully smitten with it's capabilities !  

Oh macro, I heart you and your super human abilities.  

(haha)

 Rhubarb just beginning in my garden.

 Cherry Blossom about to burst

 Close up look at the shrub in my yard.  The green is brilliant.

Pine cone and spider web 

 Super Strawberries

 Amazing doggy bits.

 And one of the things I love most about kitties... their little noses and little mouths.

I was in a bit of a photography funk lately.  I've been working with a talented mentor who really knows her stuff.  It's a fabulous learning experience that I recommend to all photographers, but you must be prepared for the truth- not the truth you think you know, but the real truth.  My mentor is fabulous at sharing where I can improve.  This session was an opportunity to try to improve on previous similar sessions.

So this is the learning experience #1- these images.

The learning experience #2 will be probable re-edits/reworking of these images after I speak to the fabulous Ms. Mentor about them.  :)  I'm looking forward to her feedback.  There may be a follow up blog post !

And, this photography funk,

I'm hoping after this session, it will turn around.  I'm sort of smitten lately with photographing women.  I pitched the idea of the "sock bun" look to Kendra.  The big bun- a la -Carrie Bradshaw.  She convinced me to shoot her hair down first, and reluctantly put it up after the hair down pictures.

Well, she ROCKED this look.  

She looks ahhh-mazing !

So it's those pictures that are up first, followed by the others.

Thanks Kendra- you are beautiful.
