The photo group I belong to was going on a photo walk last night, the rain dampened by enthusiasm for the project! So rather than going for out in the rain I decided to stay home. I have the gorgeous glass paperweight, that I thought would make some interesting macro photographs. So many little glass bubbles, swirls of color, set on a light table, with high key lighting it makes a beauiful abstract image.

I have this lovely glass vase, made by Vancouver glass artist Robert Held, using my Canon 100 mm macro lens I created some great abstract landscapes! Glass is amazing, and what artist like Robert Held do with it is even more amazing.

From June until September you can learn Tango in Central Park, NYC. Every Saturday at 6 pm a group gathers to dance, to demonstrate and to teach those who are interested. It was amazing to watch, and if I hadn’t been busy taking pictures I might have joined in the lesson. To watch the dancers weave their way around the cobblestone square was magic.

Waikiki sunset……
It has been a cold weekend, and while I have heard the tempetures will be better during the week, it is just the beginning of winter. Two things I am sure of, first there will be plenty more cold days ahead, and second it would be nice to watch the sunset someplace warm, Waikiki would do nicely.
For this photo I used a long shutter speed and a little movement to create an abstract landscape image.

yesterday was a big day of the always exciting bookeeping chore that needs to be done, let me tell you this isn’t my favorite way to spend an evening after work! I have been experimenting with abstract landscapes, here is san fransisco, as sunset. It had been a cool and cloudy day in November and there wasn’t much of a sunset, the lights were starting to come on in the buildings and we had been wandering around for a few hours seeing th sites. I knew this was the best light I was going to get over the city, we were getting cold, and hungry, so I took a few frames and carried on.
It is a little difficult to see, but you can make out the sign for Ghirardelli Square, after dinner we went there and had the greatest ice cream sundaes ever, it is the best place to blow your diet, and splurge on something amazing!!!!!!

Macro Tiger Lily and Rain, Marco
Posted: May 24, 2011 Filed under: flowers, macro photography | Tags: abstract, flowers, garden, macro photography, orange, tiger lily Leave a comment »
The Tiger Lilies are blooming, and today they are covered in rain. I have read that Tiger lilies are very easy to grow, and once you cut off one blossom another one quickly replaces it. There are some varieties of tiger lily that will bloom straight from late June through to the first frost. This lily is also a very aggressive flower that can grow into big bushes that can quickly overtake the entire garden if you don’t prune often.
We have planted a few of these wonderful flowers in the garden, and I am hoping they take over the small patch, bloom from June to September and bring sunshine to the garden. I will let you know how it goes!

It is interesting what you can do with a photo. By taking a traditional photo turning it into a graphic images and printed on canvas we can create a personalized piece of art that can’t be found anywhere else. The possibilities are endless. Drop me a line, let me know what you think.

Bill and I were lucky, one of the gentlemen that he was meeting with this week was driving from Würzburg to Bamberg today and offered us a ride in his new very comfy Audi suv.
So rather than carrying our luggage to the train station and onto the train, and then back to yet another cab and hotel we rode in the lap of luxury and watched the country side go by…………
