Dishwater Foam and Bubbles


Here is another experimental photo I shot with my 40mm macro lens. I saw the small foam bubbles in my dishwater and thought this could be a great macro subject. So, I attached the 40mm lens to my camera and took some photos but I think the image at the top is the best one. I shot the photo late and used higher ISO settings. But I attached a paper to my lens in front of the flashlight with elastic bands to make the flash bounce off the walls. Using paper as a diffuser is a fun little DIY trick. … Continue reading Dishwater Foam and Bubbles

Hungry Cat


Two days ago I was bored and experimented with my 40mm macro lens. I thought it would be fun to feed my cat Shyna and get a macro close-up photo of her. It was late in the evening and the lights in my living room aren’t exactly bright. So, I did use some high ISO settings. But the result was a photo with dull colors due to the artificial lighting. When that’s the case, I usually try different black and white settings when I edit my photos. If the colors are already boring, you for sure can get rid of … Continue reading Hungry Cat

Muffins


This is just an experimental close-up photo of some muffins. My cousin likes to bake them and everyone in the family likes to eat them. The photo was shot with my 40mm macro lens. I don’t use that lens very often but it’s fun to experiment with. I think it also works very well with food photography. I hope I didn’t make you hungry now (laugh). Continue reading Muffins

Beautiful Ginger Cat


The cat in the photo at the top is the same cat I showed you already here and here. But as you know, I sometimes hold some images back, either because I want to, or because I don’t have the time to edit and upload them all at the same time. Whatever, I think it’s great to have some photos for future posts. I liked the photo as it was. There was minimal editing in this case. I just added a bit of clarity, sharpness and I made it a tiny bit brighter. I hope you like the photo. You … Continue reading Beautiful Ginger Cat

Turkish Angora Cat


Here is a photo that I shot last September. I didn’t trust my eyes when I saw this beautiful white cat lying in the grass on an overgrown garden plot. I shot several photos and I will upload some of the other perspectives in the future because I couldn’t decide now. I also might embed them in a gallery in the future but for now, I just wanted to show you this photo. I researched because I wondered what kind of cat race it is. I think it must be a Turkish Angora cat. Maybe it is a lost cat … Continue reading Turkish Angora Cat
