About to fly away, originally uploaded by Thomas Tolkien.

A lady bug about to fly away. I spotted it crawling over a set of sample art papers which arrived in the post that day. She didn’t think much of the 300 gsm canvas rag, but really seemed to like the eco friendly bamboo stock – a classy lustre affair coming in at 200 gsm. I had chance to get two shots off as she scurried to the edge before alighting to a plant border, never to be seen again.
One flap of my wings will change the world, originally uploaded by Thomas Tolkien.

Read my beak – no more butterflies! One flap of my wings will cause the end of the global economic crisis, a permanent improvement in British weather and the immediate introduction of Rondel Oro Semi Seco Cava into every Morrisons supermarket.
Dianthus barbatus
Another sea of bokeh macro flower image. Beautiful sunshine today – lots of landscape pictures to start editing and processing.
Sweet Williams, originally uploaded by Thomas Tolkien.
A macro shot using the D7000′s small flash limited by holding my hand over it. 60mm at around 2.8 to severely restrict the depth of field to the pastel stamen. I know the point of a good macro is to achieve edge to edge sharpness using tiny apertures, but I like fuzzy, swimming bokeh to frame the object, and throw it forward towards the viewer. Sweet Williams seem flavour of the month around here – I picked these up in a supermarket on my way back from work. The best part of the long out of county commute and daily grind.
Nearly but not quite, originally uploaded by Thomas Tolkien.
The first of many pot plants. A single ornamental thistle in an oversized plant pot. Part of me had to wonder whether I’d been conned. ‘Bee Magnet’ and ‘Butterfly Bonanza’ screamed the signage. ‘Five pounds for a weed,’ screamed my wallet. The promise of an orgy of bees for my 60mm f2.8 macro lens won out.
The D70s is quiet. The D7000 has an almost sound effect shutter which acts as a sonic cattle prod to anything with wings. Many bees – none in shot.

Penny Pics* ---> The concept behind these photos is to speak about the abandonment of pennies as a currency. Started in 2009, Penny Pics* have been taken, after the coppers have been tossed aside, documenting their sad demise. Other forms of currency will also be included to extrapolate the next currency casualty...
