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.
I had to renew my license plates today. As I was preparing to remove my old license plates over the past weekend, I found that the bolts were really rusty and had a hard time to get them off the license plates – those plates were there in the car for almost 10+ years now. So when I got back from DMV office this evening, I saw these rusty bolts and thought these were good subject for today’s post.So here are the rusty bolts sitting atop the new license plate.
Another macro post.
Today’s subject – toothpicks 😉
Got the macro capture of these bubbles from my mouth wash bottle. Took about 10 different shots using 3 different lens (setup) and finally settled on this one.
First I tried with Nikkor 60mm macro and I felt I still need a closer working range. Then I tried reverse mounting my 50mm prime onto a BR-2A reverse filter and still want to get a bit closer shot on the bubbles. Finally reverse mounted my Nikon 28mm manual and got the above shot.
I was going through our pantry looking for a subject for today’s post. I came across these Wilton sprinkles and thought it should be a good subject with good color contrast . I guess it turned out OK 🙂
Another macro capture using my Nikon 60mm macro lens. Personally I feel red objects on pictures kind of burns out and ruin the picture. I took over 20 snaps and liked this one better than the others.
Macro capture of ripe pomegranate pearls.
Here is a brief summary on how this was captured:
Reversed the 50mm prime lens and used a reverse ring adapter BR-2A to mount it to my D70. Then mounted the camera on my monopod to capture these pearls. SB-600 flash was used and light was bounced of the ceiling.
