The flowers in my garden provided me with some interesting macro shots. I am learning the macro features in my new camera and these pictures were taken using the auto focus mode.

I have yet to finish reading the owner’s manual for my new camera, but for now the auto focus mode seems to do a fantastic job. I should use a tripod for these macro shots in order to produce greater clarity. One day!

My neighbour has this very old wooden fence around his property where in some parts, it is leaning at an angle where you expect it fall over completely any time soon. Along the fence are some rusty barb wires.

I saw a macro picture of a barb wire where the barb was framed in and spot colored. I thought it was a very interesting way of presenting the macro image and I just had to try and do a similar image!

I don’t know why the wooden post appears blue but I think the bright sun has something to do with it and also the color calibration on my camera may be a little off.

What do you think?
