Like Nothing on Earth !
For 'MacroMondays' theme of 'Speckled'.
For this theme I found it quite difficult to find an appropriately different item to photograph. Been hunting round all week for inspiration and suddenly came across a glass paper weight with a speckling of glass bubbles. Lighting it wasn't particularly easy either and as for getting in any colour ... !
Another inspiration provided the answer
- a 'Gold Halo Luggage Tag' placed at the back and adjusted to reflect refracted light into the paper weight. The tag came from the gift wrapping section of 'Paperchase' - a shop with lots of attractive items that you wonder if anybody buys, but sort of look useful, so you do!
Tried a couple of different lenses on the camera.and the thought this Trioplan was as good as any. And then did a triple exposure!
Meyer Optik Görlitz - Trioplan 1:2.9/50mm @ f5.6 ........ less than 2"
