Fireworks
This little gem was such a surprise, all I did to get this effect was to put some yellow cellophane paper over the flash which was rotated at about a 50 degree angle and used my trusty Nikon 105mm F2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR Micro lens.

Fly on Poinsettia
I’m not sure what kind of fly this is, but he sat there long enough for me to get the shot before he took off, which was just after I clicked

Out of the gloom
Not sure what flower this is, just one of the myriad that are growing in the back yard. As much as I love plants and flowers, I’m a shocking gardener and have a tendency to over water them

Pink on blue
This is such a beautiful flower, I think it is called Christmas Cactus or something, correct me if I’m wrong. I absolutely love the light showing the delicacy of the petals.

Reach for the sky
Another macro shot with the contrasting colours of flower against blue sky. I love vibrancy of the colour.

Pretty in Pink
My first attempt at macro photography.
This is one of the first pics I took, at the time I was looking after my terminally ill father who was completely bedridden. So I grabbed my wee point and shoot camera and scouted round the yard and saw this beautiful flower. As a result i developed a real passion for macro photography and immediately bought myself a new camera (Nikon D40) and 105mm /f2.8 macro lens.
Photography is a wonderful medium, you really do look at everyday things differently in this glorious world we live in.
