24th March 2014 - I'm a No 5 kind of gal

This is my favourite perfume and the only one i ever wear. Anyone remember the Marilyn Monroe quote about what she wore to bed? LOL!! Continuing the Macro-March theme.

Many thanks for all your great comments on my hairdryer shot. This one is HDR again - just trying to ring the changes with the macro shots!!

I am away tomorrow for a few days in Derbyshire and not sure if there will be WiFi. I will have to catch up next weekend. Fingers crossed the weather is kind as Derbyshire is one of the most beautiful counties.

This looks so cool! :) You are rocking the macro-march Pam! :))

Ah, Chanel! Great macro.
March 24th, 2014  
Terrific shot, but not my favourite perfume. Love how you've captured the name on the bottle. BTW am I supposed to tag my shots with the number of the week as well as macro-march?
March 24th, 2014  
@busylady Thanks Judith. yes there has been a different theme each week - mind you i haven't stuck to it as it's been hard enough just finding things to do a macro shot of!! LOL!! This week it's having a bucket list of macro shots. I don't have a bucket list!!

Great crisp capture.
March 24th, 2014  
Me too i just love Chanel :)
March 24th, 2014  
Beautiful, love the contrast of the colours.

You mean, "Chanel No 5 - because it's the truth"? I like the way you hint at the No 5 label through the back of the bottle. I get in trouble a lot because many perfumes are a migraine trigger for me, so I often have to leave the room when a lady enters. Not a good social move.

@rvwalker That's a shame Ross - mind you some perfumes are overpowering!
A journalist asked Marilyn what she wore in bed and she answerd -Chanel No 5!! LOL!!

Love your pov here and the reflections. Great idea for a macro!
March 24th, 2014  
Rich and lovely shot.
March 24th, 2014  
Just perfect, reminds me of my mum. I still keep her last bottle even though I lost her in 1999. A FAV for the wonderful memory you have just brought me :)

Lovely PoV
March 24th, 2014  
Love this.

Super shot Pam. They've been running TV ads here with the clip of Marilyn Munroe's Chanel comment. I see the parallel Pam/Marilyn.
March 25th, 2014  
Awesome complimentary colors!Love the crop!
March 25th, 2014  
Fabulous pov, Pam. Color is wonderful.
March 25th, 2014  
Very interesting composition.
March 25th, 2014  
This is SO rich looking! Such a good idea and so well executed. Have fun while away!
March 25th, 2014  
Great shot.
March 25th, 2014  
Super shot, love the turned bottle so you can just make out the no 5 and the rich colours. Lovely.
March 25th, 2014  
Great pov!! A very classic perfume!!
March 25th, 2014  
Fabulous macro Pam, great DoF. Love that perfume and your editing too.
March 25th, 2014  
Have a lovely time.
March 25th, 2014  
Definitely a classic! Lovely colors and focus.
March 26th, 2014  
Nice macro!
March 27th, 2014  
Pam, I love this shot, you won't believe this but this is also my favorite perfume. My father used to by it for me every couple of years. I ran out a few years ago and didn't purchase for myself. This last Christmas my oldest daughter bought me some and I cried it brought back so many memories. I love the idea we have a favorite perfume in common.
March 27th, 2014  
@sansjuan hi Nita I'm just back from a few days away and I was so pleased to see you back! How lovely that you too are a No 5 kind of gal! I am sure we have lots more in common! Lol! I am so happy that your daughter bought you some - it's wonderful what memories perfumes can give us. My mum used to wear Helena Rubenstein's Apple Blossom which wasn't very expensive I know. If ever I smell it now I remember the lovely hugs I used to get when I was young!
