Orchid Macro 7941
Jonathan Jackson2020-06-05T00:23:47+00:00Orchid macro from the Biltmore Conservatory. The color path acts as a leading line for the eye.
Orchid 7969
Jonathan Jackson2020-06-05T00:24:07+00:00Orchid image from the Biltmore Conservatory. Although I enjoy shooting macro images I struggle with titles. For simplicity a file number should suffice going forward unless there is something obvious.
Oxbow Bend Bee – GTNP
Jonathan Jackson2020-06-05T00:37:38+00:00Macro image from Oxbow Bend. Looking for landscapes but took a moment to capture this little bee at work.
Backyard Zinnias
Jonathan Jackson2020-06-05T00:41:06+00:00Just a few photos of the flowers in the backyard. Zinnias macros images, thanks Shelby!
Mountain Laurel Macro
Jonathan Jackson2020-06-05T00:41:44+00:00Mountain Laurel macro taken on the Art Loeb Trail. Would have spent more time but the wind made it tough to get anything sharp.
Petal Focus
Jonathan Jackson2019-05-20T13:33:36+00:00Macro abstract created in the Biltmore Conservatory. Really like the 3 distinct areas and color of the image, wish the focus was on something a little more dramatic to grab attention. Shallow depth of field at F2.0 and zoomed in to create even softer focus. The image below is further out of the same flower.
Native Azalea at Biltmore
Jonathan Jackson2019-05-16T14:36:41+00:00After a lot of the other azaleas were finished on the Biltmore Estate this native was in full bloom. I don't believe I had ever seen the azalea garden in bloom before this year, had a lot of images I was happy with walking through it 2 or 3 times. Having an annual pass has been great being able to watch the property change [...]
Standing Out
Jonathan Jackson2019-05-15T11:43:12+00:00In a sea of green this leaf stood out from the rest. I liked the simplicity of the lines and focus on the edge of the folding frond for this shot. One of many macro abstracts shot in the Biltmore Conservatory.
Blue Flower Abstract
Jonathan Jackson2019-09-10T21:28:11+00:00Simple blue flower abstract. Trying to improve on the macro shots, I'm looking for certain shapes and lines within the compositions. The focus on the horizontal line helps create two distinct resting spaces as you view the image but the sharp line should always be where you turn attention to in the end.
Tie Dyed Flower Petals
Jonathan Jackson2019-12-31T16:21:06+00:00Photographed in the Orchid House within the Biltmore Conservatory. Vanderbilt's original plant list included over 800 orchid varieties, today they still have over 600 plants within the collection. The Tie Dye color pattern caught my attention, several different compositions below.
