Finally finished my Blackberry Series. Here is the whole thing.


I have been planning to do what I call my "Blackberry Series" for several years. I either forget about it, put it off until later, etc, etc, you know how it goes. In the past some of the shots were not good and I just didn't finish. Since I started doing some stacking, I thought I'd try again. The first shot of the bud is a four image stack and the bloom is six images. Now I just have to wait for the fruit to form.

And although not a macro, I feel I would be remiss if I didn't include a shot of the cobbler. Hot blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream on top. Mmmmmmm good!!!!!

Shot on "green square" with on camera built in flash. Canon XT and Canon 18-55mm IS.
