Shake-it Up!

Another macro of salt.

I think I like the one I posted yesterday (with turquoise background) better.

My oldest daughter came home, and saw me photographing salt on a plate.... she said "Desparate are we?!?"

I think they almost look like ice crystals

thanks all. with Daylight savings, we turned the clocks back an hour on Sunday so its dark around 430pm now!

The lighting is just from the dining room light fixture.

thanks so much for the nice comments

A nice macro - the salt has such nice crystalline shapes.

[Dinah Pinkston]

At first glance I thought that your pic must be of hail or sleet ...I was quite surprised to see that it is salt crystals! Very nice close-up!

[Joe Ciras]

I agree that the one posted yesterday looks better. Did you use a micro tube or to you have a micro lens?

[Heather K]

@cirasj thanks Joe.
I did use a macro lens. The lighting is just from the dining room light.

@dsp2 thanks

@robz thank you

It is fleur de sal (cooking salt) so they are bigger grains to begin with.

[Casablanca]

Ha ha your daughter's comment made me laugh! I like the colour contrast on this but it does look like ice!

[Heather K]

@casablanca thank you
