This is the only macro photo I've ever Photoshopped. I changed the colors as an experiment, and I really like this version, which reminds me of the sepia function on my cellphone.

Cosmos flowers taken on a hike around the Nishi-na-san-ko lakes between Ohmachi and Hakuba, in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. This was the first macro flower photo I ever took, and it kick-started my passion for the genre.

Shot with my Contax RX, a macro lens, and Provia 100 slide film.

A leaf taken on a hike in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. This took me about half an hour to shoot, because it was extremely sunny in the open spaces and extremely dark in the shade. I had to get the light just right.

A cherry blossom taken in Shinjuku Gyoen park in Tokyo, Japan. The pale blue color actually comes from a shirt I was wearing - I used the sleeve of one arm as a background while I shot with my other hand.
