Spider and Daisy
I photographed this spider and daisy in my studio Lightbox using LED lights and my “super macro” lens and the focus stacking technique.
Macro
Mud Dauber Stinger
Have you ever wondered what the stinger of a bee, hornet, wasp or mud dauber looks like? Here is a 4.3x magnification of a Mud Dauber stinger.
Silver Dwarf Morning-glory
This is an image of a Silver Dwarf Morning-glory bud. I was looking for subjects on my property and spotted this tiny plant.
Expired Rain Lily
I was mowing the lawn this week when I spotted a Rain Lily. I meant to photograph it while it was still in its full glory but I forgot and it was too late.
Clematis
I planted a vine 9 years ago and each year the vine blooms with giant purple flowers. I never researched what I planted. It turns out it is a Clematis,
Fred
I recently walked out of the garage early one morning only to find this very nice specimen. He was so still that I was able to grab my camera and take this image. I decided to name him “Fred”.
Begonia
There is a pot of begonias in the entry way to the house. I was needing a subject to practice my macro skills and use the new light box that I had just built. So, I plucked one of the begonias and set it up.
Itsy-Bitsy Spider…
The nursery rhyme goes something like “The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the water spout. Down came the rain and washed the spider out.”, however, this one was on my garage door.
Rock Rose Pollen and Seeds
Another macro photography example. This one is of pollen and seeds from a Rock Rose, a native plant of Texas. I was actually trying to do another focus stack but the flower kept wilting.
Mud Dauber Wing Joint
I found this little creature deceased in my back yard. So, I thought I would give it it’s biggest moment on the world stage..
Crab Spider on Purple Horsemint
I was in my photography studio taking pictures of a Purple Horsemint for my Texas Wildflower collection when I spotted this tiny crab spider.
