"Macro Art In Nature"

Explorations in the artistic world of macro photography.

“Tempest” – Ancient Landscapes Series

This is “Tempest”, another image from the “Ancient Landscapes” Series.
This particular image was created from a old piece of petrified wood, showing a very small area of the rock which resembles a desert landscape in turmoil, with winds howling above the desert floor.
I used the Canon 100mm macro and Kenko extension tube, Gitzo Explorer tripod, RRS ballhead, 1 lightbox, 2 reflectors, and shot outdoors beneath a shade tree.

  1. Wonderful, Michael. I even feel the power of sand storm in my back and sand grains between my teeth :) Lovely colours, excellent lighting and great composition.

  7. Fantastic and creative image. I’m amazed at the lighting gear you set up. The final product made it worth it though. This is a real example of being able to visualize an image. Way to go.
