The Friendly Friday Photo Challenge will soon begin again at Something to Ponder About and Sandy L’s The Sandy Chronicles. As such, I am reviewing some of my older photography posts and came across this one.
This pic that was part of Sally’s Phoneography Challenge in years gone by.
Would I change anything?
No – I still like this photo. In particular, the fine hairs on the petals of this Jacaranda flower.
The phoneography challenge was the brainchild of Sally at Lens and Pens and each week has a different theme and tip for improving your phoneography. I changed the angle of the light for this photo after photographing it on a previous day. It is a Jacaranda flower that flowers here generally in November.
Sally’s Tip for Macro Photography: Here is a quick tip that will benefit you as you explore the world of macrophotography. Be ultra aware of light flow as you take your subject with your device. Turn off your flash to minimize shadows: determine if that allows for a better image. Try to use natural light, which is my favorite setting.
A lovely subject for your macro, I’m always practising it too 🙂

I love the way you can see all the hairs on the petals, when you photography in macro. Flowers look good in macro or full size. Thanks for your lovely comment.

They are fantastic. I didn’t realize before seeing your photos that a jacaranda flower is actually hairy. Incredible.

The tree must be spectacular when in full bloom. I’m not familiar with the Jacaranda tree and macro shot is even more impressive taken in context with the full shot. I imagine that it’s easy to bypass the details of the flower when looking at the overall picture of the tree. Nice!

Did the header shot show up at your end, Sandy? That is where you can get an idea of tree will the whole tree in full bloom. It is spectacular! The ground turns into a lilac carpet when the blossoms fall.

I saw the header when I went to comment through the WordPress Reader. It wasn’t as obvious when I first viewed it, directly in your blog.
