Macro Monday - {Tampa Photographer}

I came inside for today's Macro Monday post.  I've always been fascinated with water splashes and the like, especially when I shoot swimming.  I also like how the water is reflective even down to the little drops!  Thus, the inspiration for today - water dripping from the tap and a silk miniature orchid behind it.  I still have a lot of practice to go to get this type of shot exactly where I want it, but not too bad for an impromptu "let's see how this works" type adventure.   :)

Macro Monday - {Tampa's Nature Photographer}

Today's Macro Monday blog comes to you from some place other than my own yard!  I actually shot these back in December on my trip to the Everglades with my husband for our 20th Anniversary.  Unfortunately I've not had a chance to edit them, much to both our dismay.  I WILL do those soon, but in the meantime, at least this week's blog will help get a few of them processed.  

With that said, today's blog brings you some dragonflies, doing what you don't usually see, at least I've never seen it.  Dragonflies, well, uhh, making more dragonflies!  We were hiking a trail in Fakahatchee Strand State Park out to this lake - which was an adventure in and of itself - when my husband spotted the two love birds, er dragonflies.  I didn't have my macro on my camera and I wasn't sure how long an event such as this lasts, so I made due with the 70-200 that was on my camera to get these.
