Let’s get Upclose and Personal…

As the ice pellets outside bomb my window like diamond bullets from the sky, summer has surely evaporated and winter has wedged its way into our lives once again.  No, I’m not depressed (yet), but in an effort to hold those demons at bay, I was looking through some of the images I shot over the past few months.

It actually was a good summer for photography judging by the quanity of pics I shot! I was still into the aliens thing this summer – I think I always will be – there’s just so much strangeness in the world of macro photography – and I have a few interesting shots of our own terrestrial aliens.

Here’s one I like of some weird flower growing in a garden in BC.  The colours are the real thing – no photoshoping here.  I used a Sigma 105 mm macro lens, f 2.8, and shutter of 1/100 at ISO 400.  Shot with the Nikon D300. (love).
