  1. Ooh that’s GAWRGEOUHS!!! (don’t you just love my creative spelling technique there?)

    Is it an orquid?

  2. My wife says it reminds her of the hair she plucks out of my ear canal… I think this must be much prettier.

  3. Nice colors!!!
    You have great ideas 😛

  4. WOW! What a powerful image!

    my FAVORITE of the day!

  5. The most beautiful colors!

  6. thanks!

    iv0: I don’t think it’s an orchid. It’s some flower like thing. =)

    It’s growing outside my office window, and I thought it deserved an macro probe. I was also looking for excuses to see what the 1cm macro focus of this new camera could do.

    Rocketeer: Does she use tweezers? It this a regular ritual for ya?

  7. WOW! great detail! tripod?

  8. nope. freehand. (There are no tripods or photoshop jobs in any of my photos)

    I do like to use the 2-second timer to remove jitter from the button push. It makes it easy to hold the camera steady for a long exposure.

  9. Nice shot and detail! The self-timer tip is a good one, and something I use frequently for night shots. btw, I noticed this photo says it’s from a Ricoh Caplio R2. How does this compare to your Pansonic? Does it have an image stabilizer?

  10. Actually, yes to both questions, Steve. Once a month or so, I request the service… It’s hell getting old…

  11. complexify: yes. you noticed… The Ricoh does not have OIS. I just posted an early review.

    Gustavo: thanks! yes.

    Rocket-ear: That’s love right there. =) Remember: nothing smaller than yer elbow in yer ear!
    And it gave me an idea for a new photo….

  12. Gorgeous work. Fantastic job rethinking an old standard.

  13. Fantastic title!

  14. So outlandish and yet so colorful. BEAUTIFUL!

  15. Ha! I like yours; that bit of green and the light in the back give it greater depth.

  16. One of the best flower macros I have EVER seen! faved.

  17. Great shot- It’s a foxglove flower.
    How did you get such great DOF?

  18. thanks y’all. Vanita comes through reliably with the film archive reference!

    Lord Vader: The Ricoh Caplio R2 is known for its macro mode (1cm) and DOF. I think there might be a tilt toward a "pinhole" aperature as it does not do so well in low light conditions. I gave it a poor review new toy for most modes of operation. But it takes very good macros in bright light and has a nice wide angle. (some more details on this flower photo are in my comments above)

    I just mailed the camera to my friend Victor1, and I am looking forward to see what he can do with it. He has more skills than me.

  19. This is the entrance of the famous Psychedelic lover coasters
    oops !
    lover rosters
    hu ?
    I mean roller costers ! yes that’s it ! ; )

  20. A beautiful entrance into a little flower fairy world. I love the spots. Gorgeous!

  21. FAV! I love the little furry welcome mat. Great colors and the illusion that you’re shooting from inside the flower.

  22. gorgeous light from the depths of the flower and exquisite detail! fantastic bug’s eye view… yum!

  23. I like how it’s upside down. Amazing capture.

  24. Holy and handheld too!
    (thanks for the 2 sec delay trick, might come handy)
    Fantastic colour and great angle

  25. I think this photo would make a great addition to the Natural Patterns, Shapes, and Textures (moderated) group. Please consider posting it there!
