Yes, I’m trying to be “artistic” again. And I’m also playing around with the “Super Macro” mode on my camera<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I think I just enjoy photographing flowers – at least they don’t move! (Well, most of the time!)<\/p>\n

As usual, just click on any of these images to go to the large size image over at Flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"yellow<\/a><\/p>\n

This one was made using a neat effect in Google’s Picasa<\/a> software (which is what I use to organize my photos). It’s called “Focal B&W” and it seems like it was just made<\/em> for flower photography!<\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s all the flower photography I have for now. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
