This little guy (couple of cm )was found in amongst a pot plant that I was photographing the other day. It is all dried up but I loved the texture. The black background is black velvet – gosh is that tricky to get properly spotless. I have never tried stacking photography and I think would have looked much better using that method. Nothing is properly in focus so I will give it another go.
I was just playing with my camera and phone again in the freezing cold craft room.
Happy New Year. I have not picked up my camera in quite a few months so I thought I had better use it again before I forget how to. It is too cold for me outside just now as my arthritic hands just won’t work at all when cold. Even my craft room is only 14°C so not great. Over on A Year With My Camera (AYWMC) I joined the ‘Plants and flowers’ group once I had completed the course, and January’s topic is: potted plants indoors or outdoors so I took a few photos. Both batteries for my camera had run out of juice so while I waited for them to charge I used my phone to do an overhead shot of an oxalis. Cropped, a filter and vignette added – I do like the effect but maybe a bit OTT.
Once my batteries were charged I used my mirrorless camera to take a couple of shots against a black background.
