I wanted to test a recently acquired macro lens and, as it’s still a little yucky around, I decided to try it out at the Phipps Conservatory. A little jump start on spring. Nothing artsy, just flowers.

In a B&W mood
Here’s one from last summer. That’s about all I have to say for the moment, but I will have an announcement coming soon. Enjoy!
Everythings broken
Been having a tough time here at Whatipic headquarters lately. It appears my computer is down for the count. I did just about everything I can think of but it still acting a little crazy. It did a phantom restart the other night, which seemed quite odd and I knew something was up. The next day it started playing random…
Nice and wild
Couldn’t decide if I wanted to post a nice pretty picture or a wild crazy picture – so I’ll just do both! Lets start with the pretty picture. This is another one done with a teal split-tone B&W process. A little different from straight black and white. I like it and thinks it works great on flower pictures And,…
Teal-riffic
I made my annual visit to shoot some water lilies at the pond outside of Phipps Conservatory, since they look their best this time of year.

The flowers are pretty and colorful and the lily pads and reflections always…
LOL
Sometimes I like to laugh out loud -usually not when I’m typing on a touch screen 🙂
Probably the last of these

It didn’t help that it hit below freezing aver the weekend either. So, to not bore you anymore (if I haven’t already), here’s my “greeting card” pic for…
The pause that refreshes
It took a really slow steady pause to take this photo. With high magnification, a branch swaying in the breeze and a likewise swaying photographer trying to keep something in focus at the right moment that the shutter clicks, it was an exercise in patience. Sure I could have clipped a branch, taken it into a studio, put the camera on…
It was a day in September
I’ve been gradually cleaning my files out over the past week, getting rid of a lot of junk photos that were just taking up space. I do a lot of test shots when I get new gear and after using them for evaluation, they don’t really serve a need any longer, yet I always forget to delete them. So on occasion…
Had to get out of the rain
Day number 6 of rain on my vacation so I thought a nice diversion would be to visit the Phipps Conservatory and enjoy a little color….while staying dry of course. The tropical “rain” forest wasn’t too inviting 😉 but all in all it was a nice place to enjoy some different scenery and exotic plant life. Photography-wise I just took the…
