I'm always amazed when I have a conversation with a fellow photographer and they make a comment along the lines of "I can't seem to find anything to shoot." This seems to happen more often during the winter months. Whenever I feel I need to take a break from my usual local photo haunts or when the weather outside is unbearable, I turn to close-up or macro photography. Lately, I've made it a point to get busy with my macro lens at least a couple of times a week. The possibilities are truly endless. Macro subjects are all around you. This nautilus shell is combined in post with a textured overlay for an interesting effect. Flowers are always a good choice for close-up photography. Flowers are not only cooperative models but beautiful and fun to shoot. And this is as good a reason as any to get to know your local florist! I've had the good fortune of meeting macro photographer +Mike Moats and attended a seminar and workshop he conducted. If you're interested in learning more about macro photography I highly recommend you peruse his website and consider attending a weekend workshop!
