childhood memories, I sang a song to each snail about the house and about the fact that when he sticks out the horns he will get a reward
I must be a bit like a magpie because I like shiny things, gold and bling bling ;-) Have a wonderful day my Flickr friends!
Gotta balance the focus stacked images every so often and the Meyer Optik lens has been wondering when I would get off of f/8 and open it up a bit. Well this week seemed like the perfect opportunity to do just that. No stacking here, just one image with very little focus but plenty of colorful bokeh. I did have to wait for some direct sunlight but the rest was easy, Put a curly pile of scaly gold and blue ribbon on a mirror, stick it in the sun filtered a bit with a white screen and go bokeh hunting with the Meyer Optik 50mm f/1.8 set on wide open and a Nikon PK-12 14mm extension tube. After seeing a potential angle a bit of poking and prodding completed the look. The colors were so vivid not much post processing was needed. Truth be told I did take plenty of shots and I started with artificial lights but the bokeh came out looking a bit soft and diffused so I waited and hoped for sunlight which I got the next day in the afternoon.
The image measures app 2 x 3 inches but hard to say, the curl measured 1 inch in diameter. Made for the Macro Mondays group, Theme, "Wrapping".

A bit of sun on the apsen leaves on a mostly cloudy day in the White River National Forest of Colorado.
Like liquid gold, the sunset covered the forest aisle. On the way to the hunting lodge of Erich Honecker, former head of state of the German Democratic Republic. Drewitz, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. East Germany.
Another hard working day for the tiny little helpers in little world!
