Mike Moats Imitation

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted May 6, 201190 views6 comments
I got out this morning finally, for the first time since taking the Mike Moats Macro Boot Camp. Then I see he beat me to the Mayapple leaves. Guess his thinking has completely saturated into me! It was a great experience and Mike was a lot of fun. Would recommend it to anyone.

D7000, 105mm macro, f/36, 1/30 sec, +0.3 Ev.

Walt, I love this for the composition, the colors, the lines, the detail, and especially the water drops. I'm a sucker for water drops. :wink:

Hey Walt, we were probably out at the same time of day. Go looking comp, and like that the area below blacked out. Rain drops always add a nice touch. Glad you made the MBC and had a good time.

I love those two "stars" in the shot, and the diagonal composition is just right. Very nice, deep colors - and as others have said, the raindrops add a lot.

The vibrant greens and the composition that leads the eye from left to right is wonderful. I want to take bootcamp with Mike!
