Lately I’ve been experimenting with macro photography, trying to capture the beauty in nature through the little details of life we often miss. Insects, flowers, veins of leaves. Rather than use a typical macro lens, I decided to use a telephoto with extension tubes. This combination allows me to keep a farther shooting distance so I don’t scare little shy insects away from my big gigantic lens. All taken with a Canon 500D camera, Canon 70-200mm 4L IS lens and kenko extension tubes. Enjoy!
I’m back from a trip to beautiful canyon country in Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon in Southern Utah. No sign of Neo or Morpheus. But here’s a video I put together of some of the beauty I saw while climbing Angel’s Landing, hiking the Narrows and driving around the park. The scenery is breathtaking and the view from Angel’s Landing is worth the crazy and somewhat dangerous hike, even in 100 degree weather.
Thank you for all the positive comments about my Yosemite photos. I’ve gotten a number of requests for higher-resolution versions that you can use for your computer’s backgrounds, wallpapers and screensavers. So today I’m making available a photo of Bridalveil Falls in Yosemite National park taken from the Overlook after you exit the tunnel into Yosemite Valley. It is a stunning and breathtaking view.
Just click on the photo above to get a 1440×809 pixel version that should fit most monitors.
