Macro

Just a snapshot of a praying mantis hanging out on the window screen.

Two photos of some fun metal Mario artifacts that we found on a recent trip (bonus: they originally had candy in them).

I've been exploring the world of sumi-e painting lately, and even occasionally break out the sumi-e brushes and try some simple compositions myself. This particular photo is of some sumi-e cattails I painted over a wet on wet watercolor wash.

Last macro from my sketchbook for a while - a simple spiral.

Two more skechbook closeups this week, both from a sketch devoted to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

I keep a sketchbook, but it is not very good. This week I took some closeups of sketches I've done recently (in lieu of actually posting the sketches).

So I took a hiatus of sorts from photoblogging. Family and work come first don't you know... I was still taking pictures however, so today I'm posting multiple photoblog entries, and back-dating them to when I intended to post them...

I spent some time in March doing macro and close-up work. Week 10's photo is a macro shot of the RGB elements in our television.

This week's photo is an early morning frosty macro shot.

I was testing out our new Sony H20. It is a point-and-shoot that we bought for our business (for taking macro shots of beads and other craft supplies), but I really like its ease of use and image quality. There is something nice about not having to grab the heavy tripod and long SLR macro lens!

Here is the complete photoset (after the jump).
