I've played around a bit with the original picture (which was largely uncorrected) to remove the scratches on the i-pod I was using as a mirror and the reflection of the ringlight. Figured I'd upload this for comparison rather than replace the other image.
This is a 1:1 macro of a fingernail sized shell.
Mixing some lights here...flouro ring front, frezzi video light cam left rear, gelled 580 cam right rear. Going for a bit of a sci fi look, I was pretty happy with the results.
not to mention a ringlight(!!!) and my (so I've been told) knock you dead stare photo by Simon Thomas I was my own MUAH the combo made for a good photo in my opinion
Let me hear you say, this phone is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Was out weeding in the garden this morning and noticed this water drop laden hosta bud...the weeding was quickly forgotten...LOL!
self-portrait. my eye was disgustingly red and veiny so i decided to turn a lemon into lemonade and do a sort of creepy/cool eye close-up with it. hope it turned out all right.
I bought this pearl at the flea market for 20 euros.

Shot trouhg self made ringlight, christmas lights in the background
Spiders do appreciate my blacklight, in particular the Walnut Orb-weaver. During the day you dont see'm. I managed to take a shot using the ringlight. Here it looks like two females try to get acquainted.
The walnut orb-weaver spider is very wide and flattened, with a leathery skin. Its color ranges from red brown and grey brown to black with a dark, yellowish to yellow-greenish leaf-like fleckled marking on its opisthosoma, where small dents are visible. These are the onsets of muscles that flatten the abdomen.
Female N. umbratica can reach up to 15 mm in size, the males grow only up to 8 mm.
The spider hides during the day outside of buildings in wall crevices, or under loose bark. They are very common in Central Europe; females occur all year long, while males appear mostly during summer. This spider has a flattened body, helping it to secrete itself in cracks and crevices. Walnut orb-weaving spiders are capable of concealing themselves in very confined spaces. This tends to act as a defensive advantage and increases the amount of locations an orb-web can be effectively constructed.
In the evening the spider constructs an orb-web that can be up to 70 cm in diameter. A signaling thread leads from the web to her hiding place. After dusk she sits in the web's center.
This spider is capable of biting humans, causing itchiness and a burning sensation followed by a red patch with white lumps.
Ehm it's a bit early for the 52 project, since I post one every weekend and it's only Wednesday! I'll see :P
Anyway, this picture is really weird and not me, but that's why I like it, I guess? My eyes look really small because.. well they are, and I'm not wearing any make-up :)
I bleached my hair yesterday and it turned out white and orange, lol! Orange is now gone though, I think, it's mostly white with a bit yellow, but that will go away :) Wasn't supposed to turn out white but it's a nice surprise! Had to take a picture of it, I love how it looks on pictures :) Did edit a bit though, it's not perfect white, sigh! The reason why I never have blonde hair for a long time is because it's so much hassle.. like.. REALLY MUCH >:[ But it's so pretty! Hopefully it will stay longer this time ;)
Also, I have no idea why my lips and nose aren't focused.. and why they look so huge haha.
Lol this picture is .. odd. haha. Also, people often ask me why I never smile on pictures.. I've got a lot of reasons for that, but trust me, it looks hideous. I envy people with a beautiful smile! My teeth are crooked and it makes my face go all weird and.. idk, makes me look like a hamster D:
View On Black!! (replaced it, probably won't show up on that site :()
Also, I have blog, did you know that? Check it outtttt
TBH, not sure if this works for me. Without a bit of FaceApp-type smoothing (or botox!) my wrinkles are a little obvious still. Natural light seems to work just as well...

Have a little more Ella then. Aren't I generous!? ;-)
Full thanks go here to a friend Chris, who as well as sorting out initial contact with Ella, also found this location. It's apparently a fave with wedding photographers, who go there to do 'trash the dress' and other achingly corny and overdone crap with weddings. For us, we scouted the day before, saw a dude doing his spray artist work stuff, and came back with Ella and her mum on a dingy grey Friday afternoon.
But honestly, you don't need immaculate weather if you're creating your own lighting. So ambient stuff, and some ringlight fill and we get this. At the time of shooting this I was in the middle of shoot number three with the ringlight and starting to figure it out a bit more. I love what it does basically, and hope with practise, I can master how to exploit it more and more.
As for Ella, well she's a star really. No complaints when two scary looking ugly blokes dragged her in her heels through a disused building, no complaints modeling on a chilly afternoon, no questions asked when we set up odd stuff like this. And I mean, seriously, just look at her!? She's just one of those young ladies that just stands there, and will look like a goddess. You gotta love it and hate it equally. Makes for nice photos though! :-D

One of the things I enjoy most about doing a Project365 is the Macro Monday challenge.
This week it was contained and by the time I'd found my macro lens and a light there were so many good ideas already nailed so I tried to go for something a bit different.
This is a kazoo and I've tried to show the turbine blades contained within the casing.
HMM!
