Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.
I took some flowers inside to photograph in a light-box with a macro lens. The main reason was because of the wind outside making it difficult to keep the subject in focus. For some of the images I used a Black & White print of a Dragon Tree as the background in the light-box.
Individual images from the slideshow can be viewed here.

I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.
