Bavi ©2015 Janelle Orth
Storm clouds move quickly as tropical storm Bavi bears down on Guam. This is the small village of Umatac when the winds were at 40 mph.
Low Tide Storm ©2015 Janelle Orth
The mid-day low tide exposes most of the reef when there is a new moon, but it's the storm clouds that made it interesting. Apaca Point, Guam

Crystalized Bubble ©2018 Janelle Orth
Capturing a soap bubble while it is freezing takes practice, but isn't very hard. A macro lens is best, cold temperatures is a must, and some sunshine help.
Yin-Yang ©2018 Janelle Orth
The movement and fluidity of the bubble before it freezes is fascinating to watch. You can see the ice crystals just starting to form here.
Frozen Bubble ©2018 Janelle Orth
No tripod is necessary; get low and play with the depth of field. You want the whole bubble to be in focus, but separation between it and the background.
Delicate Snowflakes ©2018 Janelle Orth
I used gel filters in front of my two strobes to give subtle color to the image; one magenta and one blue.
Iridescent Snowflake ©2018 Janelle Orth
The tiny color-shifts with ice and light are subtle but beautiful
Snowflake Cluster ©2018 Janelle Orth
Snowflakes start to lose their shape quickly, especially when it is only 33 degrees f. A dry, cold snowfall will offer better results. Taken with Canon 5D IV, 100mm macro lens, SubSee 5x magnifier, SubSee 10x magnifier, and two slave strobes. 11 images stacked to create one image.

Penumbra Picasso ©2016 Janelle Orth
The solar eclipse of March 9, 2016 Picasso style. As exciting as it is to be witness to the rare phenomenon of a solar eclipse, even just a partial, the photographs end up being a bit dull since you end up with a white crescent in most images. I felt the clouds added interest, but the neon glow gave it something special.

Star Of Bethlehem ©2018 Janelle Orth
This Ornithogalum saundersiae or giant chincherinchee is a species of star of Bethlehem.
Mushrooms ©2018 Janelle Orth
This cluster of mushrooms is common in any Japanese grocery store. I found out that as it dehydrates, it makes a nice still life.
