Digital Portfolio Part 1 (5 photographs)

My digital portfolio will be a study of macro photography with an emphasis on flowers, plants and trees and depth of field. To this end, I will go to Pittsburgh’s Phipps Conservatory, the Cleveland Botanical Garden as well as several hiking tours around the Pittsburgh area as the weather improves and green things start growing again. My intention is to use my Canon 50D with the EF100mm f/2.8 Macro lens and available light with an added reflector as necessary.

A sparkling orchid looks like someone sprinkled glitter on the tepals (the outer petals).

The colors and lines on this leaf really drew my eye.

The light through the bonsai's leaves and branches plays across its roots.

The spotlight behind this leaf really accentuates the color and lines.

The light and color on the petal of this orchid was amazing.
