One of my New Year's resolutions was to improve my photography skills, so I recently took a one-day class on nature photography taught by our friend Dan, who now has his own business. Part of the class was spent in the field where I worked on my macro (close-up) photography, even though I don't yet have a macro lens. Thus, it's really poor man's macro.
Anyway, here are a couple of the (unedited) shots I took that day:
I kind of like the above photo because, even though it's dark, it looks like it could have been taken underwater. It kind of looks like glowing sea urchins.

I really like the first one because of the way the pods appear at different angles, highlighting variety in the single-light-source still life. It explores the texture of the pods well. The top, right-hand corner pod is ridged in its well-lit state, while its opposing pod, in the bottom left corner, looks softer -- more mysterious -- in its rich darkness and spotted highlight.
Lovely photos. My favorite, of course, is the cute little pod sitting by himself in the snow.
