Description .... I am not a rose.

This is a hybiscus that has yet to open all the way. I thought it looked like a rose

First upload with my new micro lens.

Would LOVE some feedback!

NO EDITS TO THIS except hot/dead pixels on my sensor!!!

Thanks for the faves and comments in advance!!!

The fact that you've managed to include one single flower amongst an entirely green backdrop creates a beautiful shot. I love the depth of field and the focus point. Good first macro shot!

Your focus is sharp and I like the depth of the colors. Even the composition is nice .

Yeah, I'd like to do that too.. I'm not sure how to go about it.

Tyuki-san In reply to PhotographsByBri [2012-10-07 03:54:31 +0000 UTC]

well, I want to get some glass and use water, food coloring, and a syringe : ) I wasn't able to do what I wanted today >^< I got this awesome glitter last year and I wasn't able to get a decent enough picture SO, maybe now I can : D I also took some more stock photos for bokeh/glitter textures. I like making them and people find them useful.

Awesome, thanks for the into. I knew it was something to do with a syringe.

Tyuki-san In reply to PhotographsByBri [2012-10-07 23:39:10 +0000 UTC]

yup! I use a syringe and a brush for the glitter. More control that way. Make sure it's a pretty long syringe cause the short ones... don't work. I use the same one for all the ones I try.

Alright neat, I'll keep that in mind.
I should get back into macro photography but I have been way more into scapes for now.

yup!! when I learn something that might be useful in the future I write it down for future refrence. ;D Oh? I keep jumping around X.X flowers, animals, objects, stock, scapes etc. LOL!!! Only thing I don't do much of is people.

True that.. Have to do something or you would go crazy! If I don't get photo's in at least once a week.. I'll freak. haha

I've went on a "I'm burned out" trip. I try to pull the camera out, but all my photos turn out like vomit, but if I take a break from it for like 4 days or more when I pick it up again it's like BAM it all comes back XD So I try not to over do it. I'm sure most are the complete opposite. ^_^ I get burnout very easily so I try to space it out. Which, right now I can't cause of class Meh.

I think that everyone can get burned out by doing something to much, I don't blame you and see where you are coming from.
