March — A Year in Photographs — Macro /  by Adrian Galli

Hibiscus Stigma — Day 60

Macro photography is some of the most fun you’ll have with your camera and lens. Seeing the things of the world through the perspective of a macro lens reveals details and an adventure one can’t see with the human eye alone.

While many photographers like shooting with natural light, being able to control and create the conditions of excellent lighting nearly always enhance the photographic subject. In macro photography, it is virtually a law of nature that you’ll need lighting. Shooting at an ƒ16 or ƒ22 any creature that moves or a flower in the breeze will almost certainly give you a blurry or muddy photo.

March is a long month and lighting is an exercise I love to enjoy. Macro photography is also something one can do at home, in the wild, or in one’s own backyard. While I move onto April and into another favorite subject, architecture, I sadly leave behind a month of macro photography.

Shot on FujiFilm X-T5 with the Fujinon 80mm ƒ2.8 Macro lens.

Returning to Panama City /  by Adrian Galli

20200217_footsteps_panamacity.jpeg

A little over a year ago, in a series called Remnants, I ventured to Northern Florida where Hurricane Michael tore through the beach towns of the Emerald Coast. I documented some of the destruction I came across—some disturbing, some amazing, some very sad. A year later, I return to some of the sites that I could still venture to find some change but mostly the places of Panama City and Mexico Beach have yet to recover.

Much of their aid never really arrived from the Federal Government. Much of the population simply never returned.

I did. And these are just a few places I visited.

Series 5 — Remnants /  by Adrian Galli

Project Kr, A Year in Photographs, Series 5 takes me to Panama City, Florida; the site of Hurricane Michael’s destruction. Near six months later, I document some of what one will see in this area.

Having spent many years along the Emerald Coast, one can’t truly appreciate how it has changed. Tree are stripped of their leaves, landmarks completely gone, and sometimes one feels like this is more of a war zone than a place with people’s homes, businesses, families, and schools.

More than one hundred images are actually part of this series. So vast, relative to the previous four series, that not all will be seen here at the moment. A special “super” series will follow. These are some of my favorites.

Series 6, coming March 2nd, 2019
