Macro
#1

I'm discovering the wonderful world of the macro lens! Smile Actually I'm lacking the right lighting, this shot was exposed for 8 seconds:

This is just for comparision. It's a regular lighter approx. the length of a cigarette pack:

nice experiment. Colors seem a little muted.

You're right, Don. I just didn't think of white-balancing - just forgot it. I shoot in raw but I hardly ever do any wb. Of course with my yellow lamp, the colors are changed and the picture needs it.

I thought it was some kind of worm at the start! :o

Great stuff .. watch out for sharpness - bottom right is a bit soft, but in this picture it's not that noticable.

If you'd had more light available, you could have closed the aperture a few stops to get better clarity... sometimes, though, it's interesting to have a fuzzy foreground. Hmmm, there's a crude joke there somewhere.
