The Fine Details

One of the greatest gifts my macro lens has given me, is the ability to capture the fine details out of things. Personally, I would say the difference between a photographer and someone who takes photos is that a photographers job is to capture details and different angles of everyday things that nobody else would see. Last week I had bought some flowers from Heinens and at the time I thought I was crazy for how expensive they were, but thinking about it now, they are a week old and still look amazing....now I can never get flowers anywhere else! One of the things that persuaded me to buy these particular flowers was the colors. These flowers have the brightest and most vibrate colors that I had ever seen before, so of course I had to buy them. Yesterday early afternoon I was looking for something to do and grabbed my camera to see if I could maybe get some photos in the spare time I had in. My initial thought was to take pictures of the flowers that have been sitting on the counter basically asking for it. So I grabbed the flowers and placed them on the floor where the lighting was much better and started snapping away. I got about 10 photos in before Hannah realized what I was doing and then she started to steal the spotlight. Of course I changed my focus from the flowers right over the Hannah. Sadly Hannah had chosen to lay where the lighting was no good, so the majority of the photos I took are not really worth it. Half way into the photos of Hannah, Denise shows me this photo from online of this German Shepard where the photo was just the top portion of the dogs face containing it's eyes. That photos sparked something in me to try and duplicate it. Sadly, Hannah was getting sleepy and still laying in the crappy light, so I knew I wasn't going to get the photo this time....(I am still very determined!!!) but the photo made me want to get some of Hannah's fine details, so I got the best ones I could. Take a look below at my fine details:
