Macro Beads

Tim @timerskine is my Get Pushed partner this week and he challenged me to do a colorful macro. My first thought was to find the typical insect-on-a-twig shot, but it was about 11:30 at night before I even got the camera out, so...

Instead, I hit the atelier and pulled out a few seed beads and a needle I use for beading around bottles and such. Another super fun creative activity I've not done a lot of as late. I should probably not have so many interests...

Happy Soltice, y'all - Peace

PS - I'm behind with my commenting once again, but will catch up soon. Thanks for your patience!

Love. These challenges/pushes are so cool! You’ll know I’ve turned a corner when I get into that! FYI, I Aced last night. Now what?

wonderful macro!

Great macro. Detail is perfect. Never had a macro lens. Always used the technique of flipping the lens around to capture macro. Cool effect, but more work then it's worth. Lmao

[haskar]

Lovely colourful close up.

Very good answer.

@jakb Woo hoo! ...Really the only difference though is that now you can have more than one album in case you want to start posting more than one image a day :-)

Love the focus and DOF... nice!

I like this and could see it in a craft magazine illustrating a "how to" project.

[PhylM-S]

Great shot - so cool how you got the light bouncing off the beads.
