Through the Lensbaby Blog Circle: March


I enjoy working within the format of personal projects.
I have a number of ongoing personal photography projects in the works.
I find that they keep me inspired and moving towards a goal.


One of the personal projects that I'm currently working on is a rainbow 
color spectrum of macro floral images.


Newton's seven step spectrum is a commonly cited sequence
which I'm using as a guide but plan to add many more transitional 
color steps in between the core seven.


I've read that the human eye can distinguish
 about 100 colors within this spectrum.


In these photos, I've used my Lensbaby to capture
 the beauty and color of a Gerbera Daisy.


Next, please follow the link to a winter wonderland and the inspiring work of  Nina,
in our Lensbaby Love Blog Circle.
Enjoy!

    1. Thanks for your kind comment, Victoria! The day after I shot these images, I did a set w/ my 100mm also. I found that the LB did a better job of revealing the soft, rainbow-like colors that you mentioned. Yeah, for the LB!
