Quantum Images

Well not quite quantum but the tiny world that surrounds us is not always invisible to the naked eye. It just takes a little visual patience and more importantly, opening our eyes!

I did not take these images, although I do have some examples of macro shots in my portfolio. These shown here are much better than the ones I have attempted, no doubt this photographer had a better macro lens. The colours are vibrant and the story is with the viewer. I looked at some and saw the beauty of water portrayed as diamonds, glittering brightly in the early morning sun.

Often we see images of the bigger picture, you know, galaxies, nebula etc etc. But if we took time to look inward there are many amazing shots to have. These are but a few examples.

Have you ever tried macro photography? If not why not?  Have you ever considered getting in real close? Has it never occured to you to step in rather than step back? If you have not got in close next time you wander out and about with camera in hand take a few close ups. It matters little if you screw up, ’cause next time you will be smarter than the first time. There is a whole new world out there just waiting for your lens to point at it. Get out there and try.

The planet is fine…. the people are f*****d

I did not support Earth Day. I did not support turning out the lights. I have never believed all the hype surrounding the state of the planet according to liberal right wing scientists.In my view man made climate change is a myth. Carbon trading will just make the wealthy…wealthier, and your electricity more expensive. Al Gore is conning people.

This bloke, George Carlin, expressess the state of the planet so well, but beware, he is as bad a Billy Connely with expletives.

High Key Kids

Mad Hatter Tea Party

This shot intrigues me. It was taken at an Easter mad hatters party and the image was manipulated in photoshop.

First it was desaturated after which the contrast was adjusted and border added. The original image is in colour and is a real nice shot of these two kids enjoying the party.

Kids usually have great complextions and you can get in real close without fear of all those skin nasties that sometimes occur when we grow up!

It was an overcast day and I avoided using flash. The exposure came out at 1/125 @ F13 with a long focus lens. The camera used is an Olympus E300 DSLR.
