Macro: Hydrangea

Yesterday Doug came home with some exciting news! He won the award for Teacher of the Year at the school he teaches at! I'm so proud :)

As part of his award he was given a cute little hydrangea plant, which I confiscated and called my own the second I saw it. It's just so pretty! And plus, my Macro needed some practice and there is no subject better then a pretty plant!













I haven't done ring shots in awhile, so I thought I'd do some!

Disneyland: A Different View

Those of you who know me, or have read this blog for a while, know that I am totally obsessed with Disneyland. I can't help it :) You also know that I always come back with 500 photos to show you, and you are probably sick of seeing Mickey and Minnie on floats. This time I wanted to try something different. I haven't given my macro lens much love so I wanted to experiment with it as well as test out my new filter on my other lens. I hope you enjoy my little experiment!











My sister's favorite Disney movie of all time is Peter Pan. When we went to Disneyland as a kid she would make us ride Peter Pan 500 times in a row. (It's funny because now I'm a huge Tinkerbell fan, and I hated everything Peter Pan as a kid. Read the book, you get a totally different perspective on Tinkerbell and it made me fall in love with her!) I've always been fascinated by the railings in the queue. Just look at that wood grain!

















I am in LOVE with this mailbox. Maybe it's the color? I might need my own one day, in the exact same color!



So, what did you think?

More Macro

I was going through my photos in Lightroom, and I noticed I missed a macro photo from my post the other day! And it was my favorite one! I <3 Macro!

Macro

I thought I'd do a little something different this week, so I played around with some Macro shots. Enjoy!







I've never done textures before, so I thought I'd give it a try! Thoughts?
