Macro Photos Can Make the Uninteresting Interesting

Simple Background

These three flowers (perennial hibiscus or botanical name is hibiscus moscheutos) were photographed in the courtyard of the complex where we live. I picked dark background and flat cloudy day.

Morning Light

Early morning natural light can bring out details and texture. During the middle of day the harsh overhead lighting would drown the details of these flowers. This photograph was taken during a early morning walk at the Kedron Valley Inn in South Woodstock, VT.

Interesting Patterns

Butterfly lands on flower. Taken with 28-80mm zoom lense on 100 ASA slide film.

Bee and Butterfly

Bee and butterfly find space within same group of flowers. I found many butterflies with nipped wings but waited for better looking butterflies.

Butterfly on Orange Flower

Almost perfect butterfly lands on orange flower. Dark background help make the yellow wings pop out. Great detail was achieved with 100 ASA Fuji slide film.
