Tulips from……

Being a native Dutch, and a photographer, pictures of one thing you MUST have in your portfolio.
Coffeeshops! Marihuana! Red Light District!

Yeayeah… I know us Dutch people have a reputation to uphold, but I don’t do those things! Yeayeah… *LOL*

Of course I’m talking about tulips!
I started wide and then went all the way in close. Wondrous world out there!

Up close and personal

I dug out the macro lens again after not having used it for some time.
Missed it. Cassandra was the first victim, but didn’t seem to care much.
Interesting stuff…
My better half has been telling me to shoot a series of pictures like this and frame them as a collage. I really should!

Oh, before you start yelling that the eye has to be in focus…
This was done on purpose, for another purpose ;)

There’s a beautiful, wondrous world out there…

in which words don’t need any place…

Up closer and personal (part II)

It’s been pouring for the past couple of days. No chance to go out and make it back inside dry.
Owwell… Sometimes you don’t need to. If you look past the things you’re used to, the most common things can look wondrous :)

Ever looked at it from this angle?
I got the idea after seeing a gorgeous picture a friend of mine shot of a lily. Seriously Freudian image it was, but beautiful nonetheless. If you’d see either one of the close up images below separately, would you know what it was?
