Jacobina macro

 I got this flower as a gift from my parents after finishing the renovations in my home few years ago. Till this year it hasn't bloomed. I wasn't able to find the correct name of the flower in order to read how I was supposed to take care of it, till recently. This year I took it on the balcony and try my best to watch after it. One day I saw that there were forming three blooms - two bigger ones and one smaller. I waited them to become bigger and started photographing it. My idea was with black background and lots of details, that's why I've put a macro filter of 4x (and sometimes 10x) and used focus stacking to get the following photos.

Spring is here

After a nice winter, what we haven’t seen from some years, here in the North-West of Bulgaria, we finally got spring. Everything was blooming, becoming more and more colorful, the air was full of nice flower smells, so I decided to take my camera and shoot some spring images. I went to my village Valchedram with the task to prep the vineyard for the upcoming season.
