I just bought some new color pencils from faber-castell: 36 Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils....
I like that you can use a small amount of water and make some areas covering like watercolor....and with the same pencils using them as a normal pencil...drawing lines and covering areas...I find them very good....used to work with Stabilo color pencil, which i still find are good...but these are better.....
an old photo from this summer of a snail shell....a nice motive to work with when discovering the way the faber-castell Albrecht Dürer colour pencils work....
So easy to work with.....
I also bought some faber-Castell Polychromos colour pencils and here i bought 120 different colors...but i haven´t tried them yet....but think that trying these watercolour pencils is promising for the polychromos...
For the Macro Monday theme "Junk" (March 10th 2014)
Possibly very familiar to you - my small (but growing) collection of snail shells from the garden ;o)
After years of clearing out sheds, cupboards, wardrobes and the loft - I find myself collecting fanatically again! This time a lot of my treasured items must look like pure junk to anyone else! Dried leaves and seed pods, snail shells, feathers, bits of candles, useless and broken spectacles, and glass, mirrors and more glass! Shot with the Sony NEX-6 using the E30mm F3.5 macro lens

Last Friday Morning was really foggy and a rushed Helena out to get some pics. While we were in an alley she found a snail shell and insisted that the snail was still in there. She named the shell Flap she got upset if I called it a shell.

I like how this showed up the different shades of browns, tans and golds...
002/365 - Snail shell.
It was the second day of my 365 Photo Challenge. This time, I took the image very late in the evening. I thought about the shooting all day, but work kept me away from getting all the pieces together for it. Finally, it had been 22:00 when I was able to start.
Nevertheless, it was great fun to set-up the scene and to adjust the lighting and position.
The set-up required only a few items. As a light source, I used a LitraTorch, shading and directing its light with a pair of running gloves (Did not find any other things!).
The torch I fixed on a Manfrotto Single Arm 2 Section.
The rest was just tweaking the angle of light and adjusting the position of the snail shell.
