Soft Focus Bouquet

Applied a soft focus to the bouquet and unmasked the rose area to draw the eye to the flower. 

Soft Focus Rose

This picture was edited in photoshop, applied a greyscale filter, then blurred the surrounding area of the rose and finally unmasked the colour of the rose just slightly. 

Macro First Attempt

Macro photography, first attempt. Went and bought some flowers. Impatient as I am I took this one whilst they were still in the cellophane wrapper which proved a good background when blurred.

This shot was taken without a tripod but resting fairly securely on the kitchen work surface. 

Macro Rose Trio

These three rose heads were separated from the rest of the bunch (rebels!) and I managed to shoot them before they escaped! 

Macro Rose Bud

I removed the stalk from this rose bud to allow it to sit on the background. The picture was taken without tripod, but luckily for me with Optical Image Stabalisation! 

Macro Bunch

Arranged a bouquet on a white sheet and fiddled with the flowers so that thhe white rose was centre. 

Macro Daisy

Focused on one of the large red daisies in the bunch of flowers. 

Macro Rose II

Singled a rose out from the rest of the bunch of flowers and arranged with some of the foliage. Taken from about 12cm. 

Macro Rose

Close up shot of a rose. Taken in the conservatory whilst the flowers were placed on the floor on a white sheet, supported by a bowl. 

Macro Shots

Satsumas in a bowl. Taken in the daylight on a blank white sheet in a black bowl. The filtered light gave a rather nice blue tint to everything.

Above taken with Kodak Easyshare 2.0 megapixels camera and then edited using Adobe Photoshop CS by adding a radial blur then adding a layermask and painting out the body and the top of the cliffs in the distance.
