Reverse Lens Macro

, originally uploaded by Carina Potts.

I did this photo and the previous one using a reversal ring and my 50mm lens. It's basically a cheap way of creating macro photos! I got the 52mm reversal ring from Amazon.com for around $14. Just be careful not to get your lens dirty and dusty while it's flipped around (which is probably inevitable!).

Life has been difficult lately.. Taking photos reminds me to stop and see the beauty in life. Nothing will ever be easy, but as long as I have a camera in my hand and I can show people the world through my eyes, everything is going to be okay :)

Bokeh!

Loving my new 50mm 1.8 lens I purchased! Love the effect it gave the leaves in this photo. Only Photoshopping was overlayed a layer to bring out some color. Buying a new lens is definitely inspiration for pictures! Glad to have that feeling back again.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

A few photos from the past couple of days, had one day with tons of rain, and yesterday a sunny warm day. 

Believe it or not I took this on one of the first beautiful, sunny days of spring, it was a reflection I caught in the glass of the deck table.

My favorite flower one from the rain storm we had a couple of days ago.

Another reflection in the puddle outside of the house.
