Wanting to shoot something but really having anything stick out to me as I was walking around the in-law’s yard, I walked by this old jon boat a few times and thought perhaps I could make something with this. With just my 105mm macro lens I first started to shoot some specialty shots taking advantage of the shallow DOF. Before too many shots it was time to eat so I wasn’t able to capture everything I wanted. After eating I came back out and the sun was at the right point to get the final few shots to finish up the group. Not something I normally do but thought it would be nice to put something like this together. I ended up doing the same thing for an old tractor that I’ll be posting in the next couple weeks or so.
Way to take shots of simple things and make them stand out! I do love the boat shot but I love the closeups too. Nice!

Thanks Laura! I really enjoyed this shoot as it allows you to take your time to see things you normally wouldn’t notice. It’s hard to look at something and think of it as interesting when it’s not but when trying to photograph something you tend to look for different things which makes you see it in a different way.

Thanks Cybele! I hope to be able to do this more often as it really helps with improving by trying to find different perspectives on an object to be able to create more interesting photos.

Great pictures – the emphasis on those finer details is really remarkable!
The pictures, although of such simple, regular tings, really appear remarkable. Great focus – thanks for sharing!

Thanks Miss Lou! I have been getting better at knowing what settings to use and the angles to shoot at to help make simple items stand out. I also find that simple photos can have more pull to them than some may think. I really enjoy photographing more than I started off with when first getting into photography. Glad you enjoyed them.
