I think the current show by Rachel McLain (http://rachelmclain.com/) at The Art Annex here in Eugene (http://eugeneagogo.com/The-Art-Annex-Art-Counselor-Inc-/v/KPH4MLT/ ) may have inspired a number of photographers to set up their tripods, unleash their macro lenses and get out to the local gardens. It sure did me and I spent time today in the Owen Rose Garden. There is not much blooming yet – full-on spring is still a few weeks away. I know that I will go back and shoot again after a rain – trying to capture the beauty of the blooms and the raindrops. The shot below is of the remains of a rose from last year – I can visualize drops of water on each of the spikes. I will keep at it perhaps with a set of extension tubes.
Well, yeah, do you think??? Her work was very inspiring!! I’m just bummed that now I’m thinking of having to buy extension tubes!! Thanks for taking me in to see her show at the gallery!
Hello Deigh, Your photography is gorgeous! I always enjoy seeing your lovely pictures. Keep shooting and I look forward to seeing what you’ll do this spring!
