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 Potatoe Masher

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.
