Description
Macro photograph of an orange Icelandic Poppy. Combination of an ultra-wide lens with a short extension tube, which requires the lens to be almost touching the subject to get sharp focus. This is a very touchy technique, and the depth of field is in millimeters, but I like the soft focus and the way it fills the shot with a subject that is no more than three inches in diameter.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. Although I have staged single and group portraits and still life photographs, I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America, and have won several awards, including an Editors' Choice on 500px, as well as a 5-star Editor's Choice designation in Camerapixo's Hot Shots photo magazine, Volume 4.
