Buzzzzz

Having some serious fun with a home made macro lens that gives some really cool skewing around the edge of the frame, and a DOF of about 1mm. I'll continue trying to improve on this technique, but for a first take I have to say I'm pretty stoked...

This bee was zipping around outside my house and I caught a couple shots of him on a flower. My lens has no focal adjustment, so you just have to move the camera around to grab a sharp snap, and the focal length is no more than an inch — so naturally it was quite a challenge to capture this little guy on the move. But I like the way that tiny DOF isolates certain parts of his body. Also, you can actually see the pollen grains stuck to his hair!

Website Launch


I've updated my website, and I think its looking pretty sharp. Feedback is always appreciated! [requires Flash Player] In the near future I'll be replacing this blog with something that more closely relates to this website design.
