Description

I like that macro photography allows for interest to be photographed from a different perspective. I was amazed at the little details that was picked up. Scratches and abnormalities I had to strain my eyes to see, became very evident in this picture. At one point I thought there was a scratch in my lense.

Lawrence. Thanks for the compliments. This was my third Macro shot ever and was taken for an assignment in the fundamentals course with Jim Zuckerman. It's amazing how many possibilities there are for photos with a macro lense. I'm resisting all temptation to get a dedicated Macro lense. I definately want one. But Mr. VISA is saying it's better off to wait a while. Again, thanks for the comments. #7985209
