Carnation's Photography

[Carnation]

I'm not a professional photographer, but I do love taking the odd photo or two. I even enjoy toying around with PhotoShop in my free time to see what I can create. This is just a collection I have of over the years; Most, if not all, are macro floral or scenic.

Feel free to critique and enjoy the photos. :)

I reckon you should PS some stars into your iris on that last one for your soul

They're gorgeous Carnation! I really like the 3rd one, the focus is perfect and I like that you can see the water drops on the petals.

I really like the first one.
It has a very 3D feel to it.
I also like that the hint of fingers you can see aren't perfect looking.
I'd prefer to see normal or almost stubby fingers for some reason!

Thanks guys. :)

@Brandy: I use a Cannon EOS TX Rebel, But the first and last ones were done on different cameras. The first one was on my Panasonic digital camera, the first one was done back in... Oh 2004? It was on a second generation Sony digital. It's a close up of my eye and I have the original here (http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs26/i/2008/101/f/0/Azure_Eye_by_LadyAshleyStock.jpg).

@ER: Thanks! An interesting story to this. When I was in college I was walking to my car from the school's gym. My car was facing an open, undeveloped tall grass field which had been cut in the couple hours I was in the gym. I noticed that they cut around this giant field of white daisies, and lucky for me I had my camera in my car. I just went out and took some snapshots. :)

@gym: Hahah, thanks. ;) That was taken this year at the park. I don't have stubby fingers, but just really small hands.

Beautiful macros! ;)
Your soul however IMHO is a work of art.
