g them a remote would again allow me to get much closer i ll let you know how i go rate this share this share on x opens in new window x share on reddit opens in new window reddit email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on facebook opens in new window facebook like loading image by chriscaff what do you want to focus on 03 jan 2016 leave a comment this morning s heavy rain has prevented any attempts at capturing the birds in my garden but hasn t stopped me getting out my camera i found a little twig fallen from my crab apple yesterday and despite the cold and gloom the lichen made me smile thriving there on that broken twig the lichen happy in all the damp it gave me a different perspective out there in the world you can focus on the negatives the pain and suffering the cruelty and neglect or you can look for the good the colourful the helpful and worthwhile the photo of that is on my earth and hearth blog which i set up to record developments in my new life and home some four years ago i set up my nikon with a couple of extension tubes added extra lighting and mounted my radio remote shutter release then i spent some time bent over the little twig and my camera such beauty in something so small perfectly formed it goes about its business of reproducing quietly and without a fuss we could learn a lot from lichen it isn t a plant or an animal it s not that simple it s a symbiotic relationship between an algae and a fungus and sometimes a cyanbacteria they live together in harmony dependant on each other they are different but get on perfectly well and help each other to thrive how i wish humans could do that instead of trying to destroy each other my partner bought me flowers yesterday and they brightened up my lounge and my heart so i put one of those flowers in front of the macro i turned it around and over looking at it from all angles looking for the beauty in the detail of that one small flower detail that not many people notice at all mostly people are too focussed on doing going judging but not looking seeing and appreciating maybe they should shift focus maybe they d be happier if they saw more beauty and joy in the world if they stopped and examined what is around them in detail chrysanthemum colours and form chrysanthemum petal backs chrysanthemum petal detail at eden i bought a little cactus you can see its tiny spines and its protective hairs that keep it shaded from the sun yes it has bristles like some people who no doubt feel the need for protection but inside there is a soft core of liquid body as there is inside every human soft and vulnerable beneath the spiny protection i chose to focus on the spiky prickly detail of this fascinating plant in one image and the softer but protective hairs in the other where is your focus cactus macro focus on hairy protection cactus macro focus on spines rate this share this share on x opens in new window x share on reddit opens in new window reddit email a link to a

chriscaff in photography photography technique tags exposure lens filters photography radio remote shutter release remote shutter trigger skies wildife last year i had to abandon a lot my garden photography crochet and sewing and my holidays and visits to friends why well a series of health issues cataracts ruined my vision and a severe health problem threatened my life everything went on hold but now i can see thanks to the brilliant new lens in my eye courtesy of the nhs and my health has improved dramatically thanks to my gp and a heart specialist we super celebrated new year as i m still here for it and i ve just been looking at other s achievements here on wordpress from last year i now feel inspired to make this year my best ever and to get this blog going with photography like never before tonight i can sit and plan a little i now have a radio controlled remote for my nikon d90 and love wildlife photography i can t go far yet but i feed lots of birds and have built a pond and garden for wildlife you can read more about that at earth and hearth but with my new kit i can stalk the wildlife from a distance as long as they land where i hope to lure them i can see to play with macro shots again now too i also have a gorilla tripod so hope to be able to get shots i couldn t get before and on top of that i have new graduated filters which help balance light and dark especially in bright skies and you can use them to allow longer exposures this is useful to make water appear smooth anyway here are the results of my first go with one of my new filters with a grey grad filter skies keep their colour without under exposing the foreground this sky should have been blue but had to over expose it to get the foreground right it s december on a campsite in cornwall

loading using photography to make greeting cards 20 aug 2012 leave a comment by chriscaff in photography tags greeting cards image images photo photograph photography photoshop photography isn t just for me an end in itself as anyone reading this blog will know i like to use it to illustrate to investigate macro gives an insight into another world and to design recently i ve discovered card making not just a photo printed on a card but using photography to personalise cards and make them much more meaningful to the recipient i take shots of friends and family from my archives and give them the photoshop treatment then i print them as photos on photographic paper i then apply them to blank cards and add extra embellishments and personal greetings before popping them in the post everyone s so pleased with them i thought i d share the idea and some of the photos i ve used with you mum s birthday card mum loved her card despite being over eighty she looks great in marilyn mode i achieved this by going in photoshop to image black and white and adding here the colour i want by playing with the tint hue and saturation tabs once i has the colour set i took the image into the filter gallery in this case the film grain setting under the artistic tab finalised the effect you will need to play with the filter gallery as i ve found that each photo i work with for these effects can be surprisingly different it depends on background in the shot the contrast in the image the subject you are dealing with and many other factors but these effects are well worth exploring and it s quite fun to do give it a try once i had the image as i wanted it i added text picking the colour for text from the creamy white in the image so it all looks coordinated and works as a card front to give the card a border go to select all then select modify border choose the pixel width you want then go to edit fill and choose the colour you want your border to be you can use the colour picker to lift a colour from your image once you have the border as you want it go back to select and choose deselect you re now ready for printing this next picture has a completely different technique it utilizes the sketch photocopy function within the photo gallery and works well on clear uncluttered photos it seems to work well to comic effect as on this card birthday card sketch inside the card this last one is fairly simple i took a shot from a wedding speech and put it through the filter gallery here i used film grain and the adjustment tabs to the right to get the flattering film star effect on this photo film grain card recipients seem to love them so why not play in photoshop and see what you can do it s got to be better than buying one and you get to have fun in the process rate this

wildflowers in the spotlight 10 jul 2012 3 comments by chriscaff in photography tags camera floral nature photo photograph photography photography technique photos pictures plants there are fields behind our house i took a walk one day last week between downpours and found many more wildflowers than i d expected the land appears to be just grazing meadow so meadow flowers abound and i thought it would be a crying shame not to do something with them hence the camera and my enthusiasm came out it s a pity the light didn t even with a light conservatory it was difficult to get enough light through the lens for my macro lens and tubes in the end i settled for my standard lens and the macro tubes to get the details i wanted as i didn t want to resort to artificial light bush vetch wild comfrey hawksbit black meddick i wanted to capture the beauty others miss either they wouldn t even notice the flowers as some of them are tiny or they wouldn t stop to look maybe some of these photos will make you look twice next time you take a walk with the dog if you click on the photos you can see them much larger and in more detail i m planning a set of wildflower photos in macro for my website and therefore for sale quite soon i m not sure if these are going to be the shots probably not i ll need better light to get the top quality shots i want and time is important as these flowers will only be around for a short while rate this share this share on x opens in new window x share on reddit opens in new window reddit email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on

have just spent my weekend visiting my son to meet my first grandchild he of course is the most gorgeous baby in the world my trusty nikon camera was there to record those precious moments that will never come again and i took plenty 133 to be exact some pictures are good some are great and some are no so good that s the reason to take so many to make sure i have a good selection of photos to treasure forever charlie my grandson two days old if you have an event that you d hate to miss or lose check your camera batteries before you set off ensure that once you ve captured your event with far more shots than you ll actually keep back them up can you imagine losing them then don t let it happen then start editing adjusting cropping your images if anything happens to them you ve always got those original backups charlie with his grandad charlie with his mum charlie with his dad and sister charlie with me his nana of course if you are the photographer you ll have to get someone else
