Had a full weekend with chores, meetings and photography of a certain kind. Anyways, here's one photo I approached it using some tips I picked up from Louis' workshop. Yes, I know it's a tiny pitcher plant but who says wedding photography and macro plant photography are different. In case you're wondering, it's for my brother-in-law's new blog.

Did the peanuts suddenly grow large or did the bottles shrink? Or are they just yummy chocolate filled with cool liquor?

Taking close-up pictures of small things is called "macro photography." I have no idea why. Perhaps because the small things in macro photography are generally larger than the things you are taking pictures of when doing "micro photography". If you really want to be pedantic then you should say you are doing "photomacrography".

Well, well, everyone says that you need to look at the big picture and all that. Sometimes, the small picture is important. Why? It's details, details and details my good man (or woman)! GOD is in the details. If you don't believe that, go get a microscope. Anyways, I think it's really important to sometimes have the smaller things in life. Small pleasures, a walk in a park, or just a chat over coffee. Life is short, enjoy the trip!

What's a fruit macro party you ask?
Lights, fruits, white plates, reflectors, cameras...
Who said anything about eating?
