2nd March 2014 - CD Case Macro

This is one of my favourite macro shots. This is called cross polorisation. You need something made of clear plastic and you take your shot through a circular polorising filter and have a light behind the plastic. When you turn the poloriser the colours change. You can get some fantastic effects. Taken with my 100mm macro at F/3.5

Sorry it's another oldy but we have been bringing things from my sister's house to mine - we will find space somewhere!! I am exhausted!!

Many thanks for your lovely comments on yesterday's macro shot.
