A photo trip into the garden
A nice thing about having a garden is that i provides opportunities an easy way to go on a photo shoot. Especially during the summer when flowers are in full bloom and is attracting insects. So equipped with my camera, macro lens and tripod I walked the 10 meter long journey into the flowerbed. A sunny day with lot’s of flowers and insects provides several opportunities within a few minutes. I just set up my camera aiming at a flower, wait a few minutes and then the flower has a visitor, adjust focus and fire away. Next I’ll try to do focus stacking to get an image that is sharp…

Busy bees
Have you ever wonder over the name busy bee? I was sitting next to the flowerbed in the garden and I could absolutely understand why it’s named that way. I had my 105 mm macro lens on the camera and was trying to get a good shot of one of the buzzing fellows. I had the camera on a tripod, with the ball head loose. So I could get the nearby flowers into the frame rather fast, the lens was approximately in focus, so it could also focus correctly fast. I counted seconds, it took about 2-3 seconds from I spotted a bee until it was perfectly in focus. But…

Every day you can see a development in the signs of spring. I been watching the trees and bushes in my garden the latest days, and it’s quite clear that we are on the move towards brighter times.

Spring is here, life is coming back
This week temperature has risen to almost comfortable levels – 10-15 degrees Celsius. This means that insects and flowers are emerging i larger numbers, so I grabbed the camera with the Sigma 105 f/2.8 Macro lens and spent an hour on the ground in the garden. Even though photos here are taken on f/10 to provide a large depth of field ( it’s not that large. I get a very small Even though photos here are taken on f/10 to provide a large depth of field (DoF) it’s not that large. I get a very small DoF because I’m using 105 mm focal length and because my focus distance is…

Sommerfotos, indendørs, det regnede
Det var regnvej i juli, så jeg har taget nogle indendørsbilleder. Til disse har jeg brugt mit nye closeupfilter +8, til at komme ret tæt på motivet. Klik på “ImageView” for at se billederne

Er efteråret startet?
Da jeg kom ud i haven lørdag formiddag, var det første mit blik faldt på et imponerende edderkoppespind, hvor en ikke mindre imponerende korsedderkop sad mid i spindet og solede sig. Spindet var meget større end dem vi har fundet i haven i ‘sommerens’ løb, så jeg kunne ikke undgå mistanken at edderkoppen mener det er efterår og der er mindre fangst i sigte, så nu skal der sættes store net ud for at fange til dagen og vejen. Da den nu sad der stille og roligt fik jeg lyst til at forevige den, så jeg udstyrede kameraet med 12+20mm extensions tubes og mit 55-200 mm objektiv. Stativ kunne der…

Lidt macro på altanen
Jeg har ikke rigtig haft tid og når jeg så har haft det har vejret ikke været sommerligt og indbydende. Resulatet er ihvertfald at kameraet har været ret ubrugt i denne sommer. Som en lille smule kompensation brugte jeg en halv times tid på altanen med at lave nogle næroptagelser af blomsterne og beboerne deri.
