Some of my first attempts to take some trendy macro photographs of various actions.  These are a couple of samples of macro photos I took of research in San Ramon.   Allison was usually in charge of releasing and calling out artificial leaves into the streams and Mike was timing the releases – thus, our two hand models.  I wish that I had played around with the depth of field a little more on these, but I still think they came out well.  It’s difficult to take this type of photograph in the field, particularly in a dark, canopy-covered stream bed.
