I spent some time walking around our complex today looking for anything with some color to practice taking pictures. Well there seems to be a lack of color around here. One bush did have four tiny berries on it – oh wow! For some reason this winter everything seems grey. Gloomy kind of really. It made me want to go out and buy some plants that had any and I mean any color to them. Even the green in our evergreen trees is dull and has a grey-brown tinge. Seriously, it is not the eyes beholding – there was no color other than grey-brown-green.
In theme I played around and came up with this:
I will not show you my green bean pics as if you have seen one green bean you have seen them all.
I drove up to the Marysville area last night. There were colors there. Yup, the vegetation there produced more red berries than the shrubs around here. LOL some yards even had winter blooms. I guess some people realize that winter blooming vegetation is a good thing :).
So I cheat a little. 🙂 There is actually much color in Camarillo, but those recent flower macros are not done in the garden — they’re done in the kitchen with flowers I bought on the cheap at Saturday’s farmer’s market.
Sacramento has a pretty nice farmer’s market downtown, too — I went a year or two ago when I was up there visiting my relatives. — For $4 you get endless photo opps wthout having to fight the stupid wind on those macros. 🙂
Ha ha! Like a 20inch micro is a macro LOL.
I am looking at trying some macro filter type dealies – whatever yah call em! My mom’s yard has color but . …
I spent all day taking pictures of a lemon – yellow – playing around with the settings. The menu and the lack of consistancy in this camera are driving me nuts. But, I have always been a tad looney anyway. 🙂
