Red Bonnet - Super Macro

Looking at the red bonnet of yesterday's flower against the black background made me smile so much, I decided to add a super-duper, closeup, extreme macro of the same flower. FWIW, I have NO idea what the real name of the flower is. If you know, feel free to post a comment. I'll update the blog post and give you credit. THANKS!

Red Bonnet Macro

As you already know, macro photo- graphy is a passion of mine -- especially macro pics of flowers (my fav photographic subject). For some reason, this floral macro garnered a lot of attention from coworkers who use some of my photos as their computer desktop background. If you like the small version, click on the image to see the full-size photo.

BTW, the Nikon E5700 tends to blow out red in bright light, so please forgive the overexposure of the reds in the image.

Miss North Carolina - Jessica Jacobs

Just for S&G... I wanted you to see that our local fall festival, the Yam Festival, does include real cele- bri-tay. Haha! That's right, none other than Miss North Carolina 2007, Jessica Marie Jacobs.

Yam Fesitval... a little late

Dang it! I totally forgot to post at least one picture from a local fall festival. So, please forgive me and allow me to present you with a single photo from the Tabor City, NC Yam Festival 2007 - taken in November. I chose this pic because of the bright colors and movement of the majorettes' flags.

God bless and enjoy the Ides of March!

Favorite Mustang

February is much like January... only colder. So, in keeping with the "Think Spring!" motif, I am offering Blog/o/Foto viewers a shot of my youngest daughter's favorite Mustang -- from the Mustang Week 2007 photo set. She is all into yellow... and cool cars!

January is cold! Think Spring!

January is cold! So, instead of pulling out bleak, poorly lit photos from the dead tundra of the South, I'm thinking "Spring!" This example is one of the favorites for my coworkers -- who have some of my "flower photos" as their computer desktop background. I hope you enjoy it, too.

Click on the image, to see the large version. Stay warm - cuddle with someone you love. OH, and think Spring!

Another Portrait

Merry Christmas to everyone who follows CharlieJ's Blog/o/Foto. I appreciate you taking the time to visit and review my photos.

This month, the last of 2007, I am posting another portrait -- my son. The same day I took the portrait of Lyssi, he asked me to shoot a few pics of him. This is the best one (again, totally unedited except for being rotated counterclockwise). Enjoy... and may you prosper in 2008!
