Two Blue Ballpoint Pens in Macro

The theme was "TWO" - two of something. I chose two blue pens for several reasons.

1) The blue plastic is semi-transparent and brings up lovely colours when in light.

2) The silver tips are shiny, making a nice contrast with the blue.

3) They're small and fit into the Macro Mondays size criteria.

4) They're actually quite photogenic, although they did roll around a bit making it challenging to set the tips together.

 

This was fun and I like the results. There are 8 photos in this set. I especially like this one where I positioned the pens on a metal table outside on a sunny day, over the hole that the sun umbrella fits into, and photographed from underneath managing to get the sky and clouds in the background.
