Candy Ribbons



Candy ribbons are one of the nostalgic candies that are only sold during the Christmas season.  They made excellent subjects for macro photography because of their color, texture, and shape.  This was one of the many shots taken.  It is a 1:2 ratio.  Shot with a Nikon D300s @ f 8.

Forever Changed

In the summer of 2007 I had the life changing experience of going on a mission trip to Honduras.  Below is  a image that will forever stay imprinted in my mind and heart.  Fortunately, I had a point and shoot camera at that moment.  In August of 2008 I began photography school.  My snapshot may not be my best work but it is one of my own personal favorites for sentimental reasons.  This semester I have begun macrophotography!  I was able to bring home some Honduran money but have never displayed it.  The first macro assignment subject was our choice.  Below is a photograph of a couple things besides a changed heart that I brought back from the mission trip.
The currency was shot at f32 for maximum depth of field with a 20 second exposure.  The camera used was a Canon 5D (full frame) with a ring flash.  This image is a 1:1 ratio.
