mantle of desire
Take my heart and set it free,
Carried forward by the waves
Nowhere left to run, navigators' son,
Chasing rainbows all my days

Overdone and poorly executed. Don't know why I uploaded it, frankly.

Easter's coming
Friendly neighborhood priest.
This photograph was taken for an Easter Project which I'm working on with my cousin. It probably has nothing special, though I admire this person (I don't know him too well, actually). Guess he would be profoundly disappointed if I explained to him just how debatable/relative the God issue is.

Red. Just another macro shot. Is it too dark?

Unfortunately the photo project for the TSL is not going as good as I would have liked, I can't find inspiration and often feel discouraged, it is like I have some sort of mental block

I will produce some photos, though I doubt I'll be content with them.

I really like the second one. What camera / settings?

Can you define a 'macro' shot for me?

All good looking as always.

I am very impressed with the third photo although I can't figure out why. It seems very professional looking to me.

Though I don't really think there's a set technical constraint that defines macro photography, what I understand by the term is real close photographing of a small subject or part of a subject, revealing detail that is not obvious at all, while creating interesting new and highly unusual perspectives.

It is the most intense play with your Depth of Field and lightning, and for good shots you would rather use a professional SLR camera, or at least one which allows manual customization of your F number and shutter speed.

If you want to see the full settings, go visit my gallery (the link is posted in my signature). Click each photo in particular, and on each one's page you will see the settings under the pic, on the right side of the "Artist's comments" space.

Thank you. I was actually content with it also, and it was a little checkpoint in it's own for me personally, as it is among the first really spontaneous shots I execute on full manual mode, with manual focus/exposure and all.
