Serendipity
Just for fun… My thought was to photograph autumn colors through my home-office window with the screen as an in-camera texture overlay. The Lumix offers a macro focus option at the long end of the zoom from roughly 3′ distant, so I was playing with that as a method for selective focus. Reviewing the captures, [...]

We met in the park…
{click image to view large} This capture, toward the end of April, was inspiration for the idea of context I mentioned in “One Morning in Spring”. It was photographed using a Canon 500D Close-Up Adapter on a Nikkor 18-200mm f3.5/f.6 lens. That combination allows me to get close and shoot wide with a shallow depth [...]

Flutter By
{click image to view large} Continuing to play with my rudimentary kaleidoscope, this image was shot with a Fuji E900 plus two closeup filters stacked. It allows for a longer working distance than I could manage with the Nikon D300—whether using a closeup filter or extension tubes—necessary to accommodate the kaleidoscope. Fortunately, the lack of [...]

Lightness (for Pixelle)
{click images to view large} The other day, playing with a Light Science Experiment Kit, I fashioned a small kaleidoscope from Mylar and began exploring flowers. I was entranced by what happens with just the smallest change of position in the flower, the viewing tube, or the camera. And the investigation of another way to [...]
