A Simple Flower Macro – The “Cram It” Method
Here again is a flower image that is a bit different than normally seen, and created simply by using my proven “cram it” method. (I’ll patent it!) : )
A client gave me some ideas for a piece that they wanted, and I came up with this. They accepted a piece that was very similar to this one in its composition. A fun and different piece!

This image was created by simply cramming the Canon 100mm macro & Kenko 2x teleconverter down into the flowers, shooting wide open, and using selective focus for a certain area while letting the rest of the image to become a total blur.
If you wish, you can go to the “search” box over to your right, type in the word “cram”, and come up with other posts that has the “cram it” method or explanation mentioned.
Thanks for looking everyone,
Mike

This is my blog journal, a journal about the art that can be found in nature, about macro photography, and other topics of interest! I’m just a typical American boy, from a typical American home in South Carolina, and one who enjoys exploring all the possibilities of capturing artistic abstracts in the world of macro. This journal has been created not only as a outlet for my thoughts about the world of nature photography, but hopefully as a place where others may visit, … and maybe learn something from it. Currently I am working with various clients and art buyers throughout the US.

Ok…I’m off to search “cram”. Hats off (if I wore one) to this technique. It’s a great look–soft & serene.
Thanks guys!
Basically, all it is, is to cram your lens in there and not caring it there is anything in front of your lens, or even touching the front of your lens.
Simply try to get a wash of rich blurred colors in one area, while having another area within the frame to be detailed.
It’s fun, … and can be captivating!
OK, I’m convinced. I’ll be cramming this weekend! Hmmm, sounds like college! :-)

Thanks guys!

Mike…ok, I did some experimental cramming and came up with one that I posted today–Floral Art #6. I’d like to work a bit on a sharper focus in one area, but I thought it was interesting (and fun!) how this cram method works. You really need to beat a path to the patent office, y’know.
now that’s my kinda shot!! beautiful Mike :)
