C'est Magnifique

This 1/2 franc is all I have left of the money I spent while in France in the spring of 2001. They converted to the Euro later that year.

[Vee]

Nicely done! The highlights are in the right place!

[katy]

@vskolnik Thanks, Vee! i am trying out some new lenses my husband got for me! And still have lots to learn!

[Vee]

Is it a macro? How fun! That's next on my list!

[katy]

@vskolnik they are close up macro lenses. a +1, +2, +4, and +10 all together at the same time!

[Darlene]

What a great shot, Katy. How nice of your husband to get new lenses for you. Look forward to seeing more.

[Leslie]

[katy]

@deburahiru Thanks, Deb! that seems to bee the hard part for getting a good macro!

[John Lynn]

Your little camera has a great Macro feature on it! Nice.

[Kimberly Balychev]

Great capture of this! :) Love the lighting :)

[Peter de Graaff]

Very French. like your new thumbnail of you

[Rick Schies]

Nice shot of it, and if it is no longer inuse, a good thing to hang on to

[katy]

@jwlynn64 Thanks, John! this is with some new things my husband bought for me! I am not even sure if they are called filters or lenses. I have sooo much to learn!

[katy]

@kbalychev Thanks a bunch, Kimberly!

[katy]

@peterdegraaff Thanks, Peter! I am glad you like it!

[katy]

@digitalrn Thanks, Rick! I was thinking that myself!

[karenann]

That makes it a "keeper!" Beautiful pov and lighting, Katy ... did you enjoy that trip? We saw Paris .... am guessing that you did too. Oh how I wish I were there now with my camera!!

[katy]

@karenann Yes I was blessed to have an opportunity to go to Paris but it was way before 365! Maybe we should go together! ;~} sorry to hear about your TIA and I absolutely loved your 365th picture! I didn't want to get all mushy on that page but didn't want you to feel neglected either! I was going to call but can't find your number! Glad to hear you are staying and I know how you struggle with that because of all you are trying to get done right now! You are the best!!!

[Kathy Burzynski]

New lens - who hoo - sounds like a keeper husband!
Love the clear focus - which lens did you use?

[Marilyn Wigen]

Very apt title... the shot is truly c'est magnifique! Especially as you were working with new tools. :)

[katy]

@myhrhelper OK not really sure. I had the +1, +2, +4, and the 10x all on there! I have sooo much to learn! ;~}

[katy]

@myhrhelper oh and thanks for the support! I will probably need lots of it from now on! ;~}

[katy]

@marilyn You are so kind! I really appreciate it. Maybe I can learn more about what I am doing with lots of practice!

[DaVette]

@grammyn

@m9f9l Thanks, Mary! I am not sure I am ready for the challenge but........

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Oh cool! Hold on to that! Can you imagine living somewhere where the entire money system was changed? I cannot!

[katy]
