1/160, f/4.5, macro 100mm, tripod, using new Lowel Ego studio light for the first time. These are little 3" Christmas ornaments. Need to practice a little more.

Wonderful photo, Terry! It's hard to imagine these being so tiny in real life. I love your subject, the composition, lighting, detail, colors and DOF! What do you think of the Lowel Ego studio light?

  Thank you so much, Cathy! Your comment really means a lot to me right now. If I knew what I was doing, I would love it! LOL! Seriously, it's pretty great for the money. I also bought the little kit that has different colored background papers and a stand, so you can set-up a little studio. It's so easy to move the light, or use the reflector that's included. Really a lot for the money.

  Your talent is blossoming, Terry, in a very strong way! I must agree with the majority, you fooled me with the miniatures - of course you're good at throwing curves my way... ;o) Excellent light and an all around beautiful image! Great work my friend!!!
