I really like to see the progression of a photo. Often, if you only get the super macro, you aren't even sure of what the picture is. When I was doing forensic photography, we were also taught to "bracket" - that is, we'd take a more distant shot that would identify the body part we were taking, then we would zoom in for a great shot of an injury or for evendentiary purposes, then we'd do a macro of the wound. Had we ony done the wound, the jury would have no idea of where the wound was located, etc, etc. These pictures are beautiful and we are
able to see the flower as a whole before zooming in closely to see its unique composition. Beautiful pictures.

lina, thank you.

Chuck, thanks so much.

Kass,I just wanted to show a one time progression. Thanks,

betchai, that would be so cute.

Thank you, Ann :)

Carmen, While I appreciate that for forsensic work there needs to be progression, for my artistic work as I see something, I only photograph for it's artistic value. This is not something I'll be doing on a regular basis. I show my photos as I experience their beauty and art. Macro is my forte' and preference so that is what you'll be seeing.

Thanks so much, Tes.

Self, That's what I like so much about the macro shot.

Splendid Macro Shot Jo. You know I never asked you, what kind of camera you use for your pictures.

These are wonderful. This is exactly the way I try to capture closeups of a flower. I try to give the full picture, and then I go in for a couple of closer looks. I think your closeups come out better than any I try. I love these.

Such an unusual flower. What is it called? It looks like it has tentacles of all lengths and colors.

Save The San Francisco Botanical Gardens

All of these photos were taken by me on Monday during my visit to the Botanical Gardens. I planned on this just being a Wordless Wednesday post with photos until I visited the Gardens website and found that due to budget cuts etc... the gardens will fall to demise unless they begin charging an entrance fee. There have been mumblings and rumors about this over the past year with a lively debate. Now you all know that I am there on a regular basis. If it has to permanently close I WILL NOT be a happy camper. The gardens have always been free unlike all the other venues in that area to include the DeYoung Museum, The Academy of Sciences of which you almost have to be a millionaire to afford their entrance fees, The Japanese Tea Garden and the Conservatory of Flowers. My position is that the Botanical Gardens should begin implementing fees. Why not? Everyone else charges fees to maintain their venues. If you buy a membership to the gardens which is as low as $60.00 per year, round...
