David's Images of the Day Photoblog
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.
American Robin Swallowing a Worm (or is it a Caterpillar?). Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 1600, 600 mm, f/4, 1/2000 sec). Note this is a 100% crop.
Time-lapse video of succulent flowers. Images taken over a 24 hour period using a Nikon Df camera and 105 mm f/2.8 VR macro lens with a SB-910 flash in a lightbox.
Pink Plum Tree Bloom. Image taken with a Nikon Df camera and 300 mm f/4 lens (ISO 100, 300 mm, f/4, 1/2000 sec).
I noticed that one of my indoor succulent plants was starting to bloom. It put out some long shoots with many small buds. I set up a camera to attempt a time-lapsed series of the little flower opening. As you can see in the time-lapse slide show, the flowers just barely open.
