It's a Loofah!

F/32 @ 1 sec. ISO 200, 55 mm macro lens, and 1:1 ratio.

This was taken for my macro class and I never knew until today where a loofah really comes from. They actually come from gourds. They are harvested and dried out to make loofahs to make our baths more enjoyable. I used a 750 hot light and 1 mini light to get this shot.

This was the set up that I used for both the bark and the loofah except I didn't use the scrim with the loofah shot.

Beautiful Bark...

F/16 @ 8 secs. with an ISO of 200, 1:1 ratio and a 55 mm macro lens.

I shot this for my macro class assignment using my 55 mm lens and 1:1 ratio. The detail stands out so much when shooting at that close of a range. I used 1-750 hot light, 1 mini and a scrim.

Mostly Moss...

F/22 @ 1/3 with an ISO 200, shot with a 55 mm macro lens and natural light.

I shot this using my 55 mm macro lens, and the use of some natural moss I have growing in a flower pot at home. Now that I know about photo stacking, I am thinking of shooting it again.

Dolphin Delight

F/32 @ 1/3, ISO 200 with a 55 mm macro lens at 1:2

. I used 2-750 hot lights and 2 panels for lighting.

This was a subject that I choice to shoot as my choice for the week in macro. It is a glass paper weight with the dolphins etched inside the glass. I have added the whole piece below.

As you can see, the top shot is a portion of the larger image.

Spanish Moss

Dragon Bones...

F/32 @ 4 seconds shot with a 105mm macro lens at ISO 200 with a 1:2 ratio.

We were shooting more macro this week and I chose to photograph this dragon statue that I own. It was shot in the studio with 2- 750 hot lights, a fill card, and a scrim.

Cherry Cream Cheese Danish...

This was shot at F/6.3 @ 1/125 with an ISO of 200 and a 48mm lens. This is shot in window lighting.

This shot I did when I was practicing with food. I really like how it came together and the touch of red.

What the Shell?

 

The photo was taken at F/45 @1/15 with an ISO of 200 and a 105mm macro lens. I used 2-750 (hot lights) for my lighting.


 I shot this shell for my macro class for an assignment. We have just started with macro and so far, I love what I am seeing. There is more challenge with the movement of the camera than anything else so far.
