(Day 244) - Tangled

Shooting macro with a rubber band ball. I love colored rubber band balls as it's fun trying very hard to track how each rubber band wraps. ๐Ÿ˜„
Nice macro, yup, I lost track pretty quick.

Very colorful! Haven't made a ball out of rubber bands in years.

Nice macro shot. I never realized how hard it is to shoot a macro. I have been trying but nothing worth posting.....yet.

Love the colours.

@jb030958 - It definitely takes a lot of patience!

What I do is I set my focus to infinity and then physically move the camera (on a tripod or stable platform) back or forward to focus. Got to really use your eye until it looks sharp. I'll use the focus ring for very fine adjustments.

Even a tiny bit of camera shake could blur the shot, so a self timer or shutter remote definitely helps. Also, if outside, watch out for the wind moving your subject.

You might already do these but hope that helps. Looking forward to seeing your results! :)

@cjphoto Thank you Chris. My cousin @mzzhope told me to keep practicing and she said she does the Cha Cha because she moves back and forth so much to get the perfect shot. I will keep your advice in mind๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š

@jb030958 - Hahahaha, the Cha Cha is a perfect way to describe it. Good advice! lol. Have fun!!

Oh my word! I have never seen a rubber band ball like this before! It stands to reason it would be something you would photograph. I love all the colors and the detail, Chris!

@cjphoto LOL! That doesnโ€™t surprise me one bit. with your creative mind Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ll find several different ways to use it in the future!
