Rock The Shot ~ Floral Still Life Challenge

So my completely random thing that I love to do with my camera is take macro shots of flowers. My father had found a macro attachment for $12 on Amazon that just screws on to my 50mm lens - at first I thought for $12 it is going to be useless. And at first it was. I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get a picture that wasn't just a complete blur. But I started playing with settings and voila - I suddenly figured out how to get amazing macro shots. So this was my most recent of one of the flowering bushes in our backyard; I had some fun processing it with actions that are usually too heavy or weird colored for portraits, but work perfectly for artistic pictures of flowers. I hope you like it as much as I do. :-)

I Heart Faces - "Framed" Challenge

I wasn't going to enter this one...but then I took Ian to the park this week and decided I should take my camera. As I was going through the pictures, I came across this one and knew I had to enter this. :-)
