Extreme Closeup With My Camera Phone

I was outside watching my boys play in the yard. I was keeping little E entertained on a mat and he was helping me practise interesting composition. I was impressed that the zoom on my camera phone produced fairly clear images.

There was an ant in my yard.

I am at home most of the time. I watched my sons play in the yard today. They like the sprinkler on a warm day. I entertained myself with a macro attachment on my Galaxy.

I found an ant.

I decided to make it a portrait.

And the garden got a work out too. Here is what I found today.

Cornflour.

Birds Birds Birds

When I look at the images I have taken over the past few weeks there seem to be a lot of birds?! Get ready for a few bird posts. Everybody likes birds right?

This photo was taken while my family was running around on the banks of the river after an impromptu picnic. I always take thos moments to photograph anything and everything. I don’t much care what it is, its more to practise exposure, and settings. If I manage to capture something interesting its a bonus really.

I am enamoured with the texture of the feathers in this photo. I want to reach my fingers out and run them through the feathers to feel the softness. It is funny really, to look at these ducks at a distance they son’t appear to be remarkable in their beauty although I quite like the gentleness in their face, but up close you see so much more going on. I defy anyone who says that the gentle lines and texture in this duck’s feathers are not beautiful.

Not generally a pigeon fan, but I love the character of this little guy’s face. Yay for the detail revealed in extreme closeups! I can’t understand why everyone in the world isn’t obsessed with photographing EVERYTHING, haha.

Macro Month: Day 21

This map is FAR more interesting up close!
