Macro images from last week

Here are a few macro images from last week. Each of these has their own artistic flavor. Notice the lines in these photographs - how they add to the depth of the image. The Praying Mantis is almost humorously posed! (ha)

Portraits from Texas

Last Monday I was fortunate to have a portrait session with Faleasha from Texas. She and her friend DD were a ton of fun to hang-out with. We all had a great time and we produced some fantastic images. Here are just a few. You can click each one to see the larger version. Feel free to post comments. :)

Small gifts can change lives

Occasionally, I come across stories which really inspire us to become the kind and generous people we should be. This such story is certainly one of these. This is a great story of how Annette Biggers' seemingly small gift changed someone's life.
A must read!

Sunday evening shoot

I went out Sunday evening to capture some images at a nearby lake. Here are a few from that trip...

This immature bluejay was very patient while I photographed it for a few minutes.

Software blog added

I've decided to separate my blogs by photography (this blog) and software. I've decided to move all my tech/software info to my KellySoftware blog. Feel free to visit my new software blog and sign-up for the newsletter there too. This will allow me to keep this blog related only to photography-related topics. Enjoy!
