Macro Mondays - "Shell"

Yet another revival post!

Sorry about the lack of updates. I'm now back on track. And I promise to make a less mediocre shoot for next update.

Macro Mondays - Make it Pop in 3D!

With all these 3D movies coming out lately, and the inevitable adoption of 3D TV in the near future in our homes,  thought I'd go back to exploring stereography for a bit, and found it quite appropriate for the subject to be a popped corn!

As a reminder, stereoscopic image pairs are made to be seen in either parallel or cross-eyed manner. I find the cross-eyed versions to work better for me. To see the 3D picture, cross your eyes so that the left and right images merge and appear into a third one in the middle.

The image is quite large, so it's probably easier to do it with the thumbnail, unless you've got a big monitor.

Macro Mondays - Make it Pop!

Popcorn! Also, special post right after this one.

Macro Mondays - Beans (2)

Not to be confused with a panty raid, obviously.

PS. let me know if the brightness of these pictures is adequate. I've been fiddling with the brightness and contrast settings of my new monitor and have no idea if what I'm seeing on my screen is what most people would see.

This was a pantry raid!

Macro Mondays - Ka-Plunk

Macro Mondays - Plunk

Sorry for the tardiness, but this week it's double exposure!

Macro Mondays - Splash

So yes, this is a bit cliché, but I thought I'd have a go at it. I rather like it, and might try exploring this technique a little more. A new theme day in the making? Hah, unlikely.

Macro Mondays - String

Sorry about the lack of updates lately. Been going through some life events that have left me completely uninspired.

Macro Mondays - Candlelit

Probably my most painful macro session yet. My thumb was rubbed raw from firing up that lighter, especially during the last part.

As I don't want to make this post unnecessarily long (and try to keep my Macro Mondays to a standard of four shots), consider it a preview of the shoot. Therefore, I strongly suggest you go see the entire set here.

Macro Mondays - "Teardrop"

And here's the latest shoot. I actually really worked hard on this one, with lighting and such. The last shots were taken with a handheld flower, with a handheld camera, and an off-camera flash. You should've seen the juggling that was going on. The shots are really good on their own in color, but I decided to try my hand at black and white with proper color balancing. I'm actually very happy about this shoot.
