The elegant pump stations and rotary dials volume dials are a fascinating look into our past. Such time and care was put into making each pump unique and as beautiful as possible – something that just doesn’t happen these days. I’d love to see the gallons (or liters here in Canada) rack up on a rotary dial each time I fill up – ahhh, the good old days.

After such a long, cold, and snowy winter, it’s extremely relieving to see the weather finally starting to change. In the spirit of spring, I’ve decided to post a floral macro today. This was shot with my X100 in ‘macro mode’ which effectively decreases the minimum focus distance to enable close up shots. While it’s definitely not as impressive as a specialized macro lens, it’s not too bad for a small handheld.

The tiny details in flowers, insects, etc are absolutely fascinating, and when captured right, can make for absolutely stunning photographs. As someone who almost always has their wide angle lens permanently fixed on their camera, macro photography is a bit of an enigma to me, but something I’ve always wanted to try. Not having a macro lens in the bag makes this pretty difficult, but I decided to head out a few nights ago with my 24-105 to see what I could do with a perfect dandelion I had seen earlier in the evening.
Below is a 100% crop from my 50D. Not bad. I ran this as a single RAW through Photomatix and then played around a bit in Lightroom and Photoshop to arrive at the final image. Not nearly as awesome as it could have been with a macro lens, but I’m very happy I did this bit of experimenting. And who knows…maybe one day I’ll invest in a macro lens
