Fall in the South

Fall is my favorite time of year in the South.  The colors are breathtaking.  The pumpkins, trees, fields ready for the harvest are favorites for me.  But the best part is at any given time during the fall, if you close your eyes and deeply inhale ...you will smell warm pumpkin and pecan pies cooling in the breeze.

Look Closer

I've spent some time in the studio this week focusing on my macro images.  Here are a few of the ones I liked that were shot on a Nikon D300 with a 60mm macro lens.  Lighting set ups varied.

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.
