2008-03-10 - Young leaves Lens: Raynox DCR-150 Flash: No Settings: M mode, ISO 80, 1/125 - 200s, f8 ------------------------------------------- Close to a bigger pond in the upper part of Goose Creek (Gåsebäcken) I found a large amount of bushes. They had been cut back earlier and were now starting to burst into leaves. The small leaves looked interesting and had great colours. I took a lot of photos. To the photos >>

2008-03-09 - Drops on Columbine Lens: Raynox DCR-150 Flash: Yes, diffused Settings: Av mode, ISO 80, 1/60s, f8 ------------------------------------------- This day was dull and grey and the light was far from the best. I took a walk in Jordbodalen and managed to get some good drop shot. Not that there was any shortage of drops. These particular drops was found on a young specimen of Columbine, Aquilegia vulgaris.

2008-03-08 - Decayed plants Lens: Raynox DCR-150 Flash: Yes, diffused / No Settings: M mode, ISO 80, 1/60s, f8 ------------------------------------------- Some may say these are ugly, and others that they are good. Personally I find a certain beauty in decayed flowers and plants as well as in living ones. These not only have that beauty they are also a reminder of what has been and what is to come.

2008-02-26 - Drops Lens: Raynox DCR-250 Flash: Yes, diffused Settings: Av mode, ISO 80, 1/50s, f8 ------------------------------------------- Drops (droplets) are often very beautiful and interesting to photograph. It is definitely an advantage if it can be done without the use of flash. Even as diffused it is reflected in the water and the result can be devastating. Be grateful for the clone tool :).

2008-02-17 - Wood Lens: Raynox DCR-250 Flash: Yes, diffused Settings: Av mode, ISO 80, 1/60s, f8 ------------------------------------------- These are macros of the old stump where I found a young specimen of Columbine. Not the first old stump I take close-ups of, and definitely not the last one. Lots of things can be found on and around old stumps, and they are quite interesting themselves. To the photos >>

2008-02-10 - Things on a stump Lens: Raynox DCR-250 Flash: Yes, diffused Settings: Av mode, ISO 80, 1/60s, f8 ------------------------------------------- Stumps can look boring. But if you take a closer look you can find things both on top of them (as I did here) and growing on them. On this particular stump I found a lot of things like two kinds of nuts, a couple of maple seeds (one with a small sprout) and more. To the photos >>

2008-02-04 - Ivy up close Lens: Raynox DCR-250 Flash: Yes, diffused Settings: Av mode, ISO 80, 1/60s, f8 ------------------------------------------- On a couple of places in Jordbodalen you can find Ivy growing. It is protected by law. At this time of year it is about the only plant with green leaves. It grows both on the ground and up trees. These photos are all macros, but there is anothe Ivy gallery in the Nature department. To the photos >>

2008-01-27 - Wood Lens: Raynox DCR-250 Flash: Yes, diffused Settings: M mode, ISO 100, 1/200s, f8 ------------------------------------------- I have seen and passed this old stump several times, and also photograph wolf spiders on it. Today there were no spiders, but the stump itself I found quite interesting. Take a look! To the photos >>

2008-01-16 - Various subjects Lens: Raynox DCR-250 / Macro Flash: Yes, diffused ------------------------------------------- I took photos of more than fungus today. A leaf with traces of a fly larva, sprouts on a fallen but still alive Elder tree (approx. 3 m) and some stashed (?) walnuts. I don't if they were really stashed or put there by a human.
