Coneflower Detail in Black and White

previous / next

Another macro of a coneflower in black and white. I shot this with the idea of cropping it to square. It was tough to keep it in the frame and focus tight on the spiny center with the wind that day.

You can see the original here.

News Flash

This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers.

Check out my other Photoblog portfolio/archives:

Congratulations on the magazine. It truly is a beautiful image and worthy of publication. Love this greyscale flower too. Often I prefer flowers in greyscale.

Hey Laurie! Great to see you on my blog. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. My posts on Aminus have been sporadic at best. Life has been very...ummm...tumultous (for lack of a better word) with lots of change and adjustment going on. I hope you have been happy and well!

This has a very dreamlike feeling to it as it moves from very soft to more defined in some areas. I like how the center almost looks metallic.

That really is quite the closeup and image. I think it really works in black and white. And it works well that that. Nicely done.

Lovely macro, showing in B&W does a nice job of emphasizing the wonderful textures.
