Sam Britt November 14, 2008

Thank you Sherran. I placed a group of marbles on a sweep of fabric, moved one away from the others, and manually focused on it. My camera was mounted to a tripod above the marbles. I used a 60mm macro lens at f/4.5 for a shallow DOF. My light source was two gooseneck lamps, one on each side of the marbles. #6756365

Cindy Bendush level-classic November 14, 2008
