My indoor, macro and table top activity when I can’t get out into the nature.

Champagne anyone?
One more image from my refraction session. Instead of the monochrome pattern as a backdrop, I have simply used black and orange colours to create this distortion in the champagne flutes.

Distorted
Easy techniques can lead to stunning results, when you work with glasses, water and simple backdrops.

Crystal Dancers
Or just Dandelion seeds?

Outer Space
This is another result of my „Macro Art with a single Light“ session. As you see, it doesn’t always have to be a Dandelion seed. Can you guess what it is?

Reflected
One single light, one single RAW file, no softbox, no focus stacking. My goal was to proof that this can be done without fancy equipment and without advanced knowledge of Photoshop - but with simple household items and improvisation.

$Rubber Duck Refraction$

Rubber Duck Refraction
Refraction in water drops is a fascinating subject in macro photography and it’s really not difficult to do.

The Surprise Visitor
One of the surprises of my last macro photography session was this little guy. I didn’t notice him at all and only found out that I had company when I processed the images.

Little Droplets
And again a bit of macro play. What about the colour scheme this time?

Dandelion and Water
My macro photography journey continues and it is such a pleasing process.

WD-40
As a landscape photographer, I own a macro lens but never really used it. Now during lockdown is the best time to get rid of the dust and learn about macro photography. The first thing I had to lear is that it is not easy at all and the second thing is that it can be more time consuming than I ever expected.
