Macro photography provides an intimate look at the world around us.  Personally, I don’t like bugs and such blown up to a million times bigger than they really are – to me, they are far too creepy, and the stuff of nightmares!  Rather, I love to see the intricate beauty of leaves and flowers.

This is a redbud leaf, measuring probably no more than 2 inches long.  Using a total of 23 exposures, shot at iso 100, f/5.6, 1/4 s, I combined them all together using Zerene.  Camera is a Nikon D7000, lens is Tokina 100mm macro.  Manual focus all the way through.  Background is a piece of drawing paper, and lighting was what was available with the overheads.
