The problem with macro …

… is that it lets you know in no uncertain terms that you’ve got to dust your house plants.

    I noticed the same thing last week when I was shooting the inside of my piano! Yuk! Who knew you had to dust there?

    That’s why there is Photoshop. ;) Yep, I would have the same problem with my plants.

    You sure have me interested in macro photography. If it’s dust that one takes a picture of… wow… I’ll never run out of things to photograph in my house, that’s for sure.

    I’m on a mission to learn about things like your Raynox DCR-250 macro converter lens to see if there’s something like that for DSLR’s…

    Need your advice on something: Bryan F Peterson has a two day workshop that I’m interested in (it’s not macro..it’s architecture and landscape). Have you ever done something like that? and if so, would you recommend it?…

    Thanks again… sure do enjoy all your photos… (p.s.. you certainly don’t need a Nikon… you give Canon a real good reputation with your vivid pictures….)

    one more note… just re-read my post (which I should have done before I hit the submit button..)

    I meant “have you ever attended a workshop” or I guess on 2nd tho’t…”have YOU ever taught a workshop”…. Now that is something I would sign up for without needing your advice to do so…ha..ha..

    Awww … you guys are too kind. The only workshop I’m probably qualified enough to offer is one on procrastination. Now that, I’ve mastered. :)

    PG, I’ve never gone on a workshop like that before. I say if it interests you, go for it! I do have a suggestion, though. Have you ever checked out Peterson’s photography books? Especially “Understanding Exposure” (I think there might be a sequel to that too) and “Understanding Shutter Speed.” Your local library might even have them on hand. If you have time, it might be a good idea to just look those over before attending the workshop. Then you’ll have more ideas about what to ask, etc.

    Hi, Karen! Thanks for visiting!

    Thanks so much IvoryHut.. I’ll take your advice.

    As far as the Procrastination Workshop goes, I already have a PhD (i.e. Procrastination of the Highest Degree), so maybe we could teach it together! :)

    Thanks again.

about me

I write, cook, play music, and make pictures. Not necessarily in that order. I was born and raised in the Philippines, and it shows. That means I eat rice with every meal, love my cousins like my own siblings, and firmly believe that avocados are best eaten with cream and sugar.

If you want to learn more about me, here are 43 things I'd like to do. Here's a little something about my name, in case you were wondering. Here are some other places you'll find me:
