Thought I'd try a different sort of macro today. Put a wide angle lens on the middle column of my tripod - this means the camera was upside down!
Moved the lens to about six inches from this "button" of flowers - and here we have it - a low down close up!
As you may be able to work out, the wide angle lens was an early Christmas present - I'll have some fun with it I can tell!
You can find more close ups at Macro Monday.
Enjoy the close ups.
Very creative!
ReplyDeletehow on earth did you come up with that idea :)? Well done Stewart and wow you were lucky Santa came early!
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms and macro shot, Stewart!
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent idea for how to capture that perspective of the flowers. I will have to try that the next time I want to take a photo that would usually have me crawling on my stomach. And I look forward to seeing more from your new lens!
