Photo 365: Day 35 – Dried roses (bonus picture)

Dried roses – these were dried by my wife long time ago (may be about 8 years ago). I remember researching for her on drying them back then.

These were real flaky and had to be handled with extreme care for picturing them. I really liked the way the pictures turned out for today’s post.

Photo 365: Day 26 – Colorful Thread Spindles

Originally I was wanting to post a macro capture of a bubble. That didn’t workout very well. I had unsuccessfully tried capturing a bubble from a GermX pump using a reverse mounted Br-2a/28mm prime combination. I didn’t like the way it turned out. So I was going through our closet and came across this box with mending supplies. Played around a bit with setup and finally got this colorful capture. Another post using my Nikkor 60mm macro lens.

Got to start the new year with home baked cookies 🙂
