I like to find the inordinary in the ordinary.
I love taking macro photos, especially of flowers.

I decided at the beginning of last year, that I would take a photo a day. So I bought myself my wonderful Canon Elph SD 750. I can carry it in my pocket.

I like to find my photos within my reach, on my walks in the morning or where ever I may be. I do not go out of my way or go special places to take my photos. They are what I see, everyday. The gifts of the day.

I Thank all of my FLICKR FRIENDS! For your comments and support and most importantly your wonderful photos and inspiration.

Please respect my copyright on my photos. If you are interested using any of my images for commercial use, please feel free to contact me via email at flickrmail.

Keep On Clicking!

My 2008 year is up. I took a photo a day for a year and posted them.

I have bought a new camera! I am now using a
Sony A350 DSLR.
Sony 18-70 mm lens
Sony 100mm macro lens.

    Merilee Phillips says:

    "Sunshadows has opened up a whole new world of macro photography for me. It has become my morning ritual to start each day with a view of her newest posts. She is the master of creative colorful flower macro.

    Quoting Ansel Adams - “In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular ... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.” Sunshadows has the creative eye and the intuitive sense to make wonderful imagery that is bound to excite and captivate."

    "Sunshadows is the queen of macro marvels! Take a wander through her stream and you will find yourself quite literally in another world. A world of tiny details and eye popping colours. Just when you think you can't get any closer, think again!

    Besides her wonderful array of work, Sunshadows is a loyal and dedicated Flickr friend, and one of the nicest people I have the pleasure to meet during my time within the Flickr community. She is always there with a kind comment and words of encouragement when I have needed it, (I am not entirely sure where she finds the time) but thank you!!"

    "Sunshadows is not just another "flicker-ette"!
    She has a keen eye that views the world in ways most of us mortals never think of. It might be the way something is lit, the perspective or a slightly skewed angle ... but whatever it is, she makes it "shine". One thing you will not feel when visiting her stream is "ordinary". She will take a drop of water and suddenly you are viewing the most extraordinary water droplet you have ever seen! Visit her, you will learn from her!"
