Photograph of the week #47

"When not scribbling away in a sketch book or dabbling on a Wacom tablet i'm invariably fiddling around with exposure settings on my Nikon D90 trying to capture moments in aesthetically pleasing ways.
So here we have "Photograph of the week" a (mostly) weekly feature showcasing my favourite photo of the week."


A quick macro shot from my garden og some morning dew formed on a weed(I think) that has now been removed.

Because i'm currently moving house my camera equipment is more than a little buried under packed boxes and other miscellaneous mess. As such this weeks photo is an old photo, from my archive that happened to jump out at me, probably in thumbnail form.

Yet another quick macro shot, this time taken of a fly in my garden that landed on a large, green, plastic, riding-dog toy that my son got last christmas. It was only there long enough for the one shot which is my excuse for not adjusting my aperture to give a better depth of field.

This shot is from my grandmother's garden.
It's just a nice basic, textured, colourful macro-shot.

This week I got a new Tamron 90mm prime lens.
To put it through it's paces I ran it around my garden a few dozen times to try and pick out macro details and take various other interesting shots.

This is another spider shot, I just happened to spot him as he came scuttling down the wall next to me, he really was very tiny but thankfully this lens is far better built for the job of capturing him than any of my other lenses. It was pretty difficult distinguishing him from his very-similarly-coloured background but I think it makes for an interesting shot despite the clearly blown-highlights.

I could have done with a reflector, in hindsight, to soften the otherwise hard shadow that obscures half of the spider.
I always find it interesting to see the amount of detail there is in such small creatures that are so easily overlooked, It's nice that I'm finally able to capture that to some degree.

A very random shot of my back garden. I was trying to shoot the pond(which never gets enough light) as it's full of frogspawn at the minute but didn't get anything I was happy with.
Whilst I was laying on the ground though getting mud and grass stains on my otherwise clean clothes I decided to shoot a few other things from where I was and ended up with a shot of mostly grass with the bench in the background.(A bit over saturated maybe)
I'll give the frogspawn another go on a less overcast day I think.
