My cat, Emma, curls up to take a nap. It’s hard to tell where her head starts and her tail ends. I took this picture with my new camera, the Canon 5D Mark III. This is my first full-frame camera so I have quite a few things to learn after using a crop frame for years.

Blue Oil and Water

I took some more oil and water pictures today with my macro lens. This is just one of them. I also took some pictures of tomatoes, lime, and a yellow orchid. I’ve placed them in my Gallery. I’m constantly looking for interesting pictures to take with my macro lens. The lens can also be used for portraits as well as landscapes, so I leave it on my camera most of the time.

I’ve been taking some pictures of my neighbor’s orchids, so today I bought my own.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to keep it alive.  I used my tripod and macro lens to take some photos.  They are all so beautiful and so easy to photograph. I’ve posted quite a few on my Flickr site.

Oil and Water 2

by Sandy April 7, 2012 Photography

I’m getting a bit carried away today with taking pictures of the olive oil and water. Every time I shake the dish, the configuration changes, and I’m just amazed at the results. This is just one more example. I’ve posted several on my Flickr account. I can’t wait to try taking them with a tripod, [...]

Oil and Water

by Sandy April 7, 2012 Photography

I spent the morning trying to take a picture of cooking oil mixed in water using my Canon macro lens. I have ordered a tripod, but since it won’t be delivered until next week, I had to take the pictures hand-held. This is the result. You can see more on my Flickr page. If you [...]
