    Flaming feather!

    This is a close up shot of a portion of a bird feather. I snipped off the upper portion of the feather and pulled away many of the feathers along the stem to achieve this look. It was photographed in studio setting with studio lighting. I felt that feather mimicked the look of being on fire hence the name of this blog entry. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp, mirrorless camera and a Sony 90mm F2.8 Macro lens. 1.6 sec., F16, ISO 100, MANUAL MODE

    Macro Close Up of Kitchen Whisk

    This image began with an everyday kitchen whisk used to mix eggs and the like. I lit one side with a blue light and the other with a red light. I utilized a red/blue gel with the overhead light. I came in as close as possible to the head of the whisk with the macro lens. The resulting image is shown. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp, mirrorless camera and a Sony 90mm F2.8 MACRO G OSS lens. 1/5th, F8, ISO 100, Manual Mode, (65) image focus stack.

    Macro Close Up of Potatoe Masher

    Here’s an example of how you can create art with an everyday kitchen tool. This image began with a potatoe masher as you can see in one of the images. I backlit the object with a blue light, side lit one side with another blue light and the other side with a red light. I then came in tight on the end of the potatoe masher with the lens. The resulting image is shown. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp, mirrorless camera and a Sony 90mm F2.8 MACRO G OSS lens. 1/4, f8, ISO 100, Manual Mode (55) image focus stack.

    Macro Photography – Whisk

    This image was created by using a whisk I found in my kitchen cabinet. Initially photographed without colored lights and it didn’t work so I added blue and red gels. I tried different positions and found the most interesting to be a close up shot of the very end of the whisk. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61MP mirrorless camera and a Sony FE 90mm macro lens. 1/5, f8, ISO 100, Manual mode.
