I am really digging macros. I love to just shoot and then see what there is to see after I download the images. I really like these images. They remind me a lot of Chinese watercolors. Two of these images are only edited in PS using traditional darkroom techniques of boosting contrast and dodging and burning but one was altered with an adjustment layer to make part of it a bit more purple.
All shots were taken with the Lensbaby with macro lens attachments. I just sat the kyanite sliver on a box and set it front of a window and snapped away. I FREAKING LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY!!! : )

I'm so glad that you're having a great time with your shooting! These images have a sort of stormy and haunting look to them. By using the lensbaby, you are really toying with what is seen with a lens--very different from the naked eye and totally of the camera. I love the mineral kyanite as well. Sort of the poor man's tanzanite, though too soft for most jewelry, it's very pretty and a good collector's stone.
I like this idea of finding landscapes within the stone. It would be nice if you had some in varying colors to base an entire series on.
Hmmm, maybe I could try tourmaline. That comes in different colors. I also love moon rocks as well. I tried to shoot some desert rose but for some reason Im not liking the results.
I LOVE THESE!
AMAZING!
