Oh my goodness!  I think I have found my new pass time for the next few months!  Shooting macro (really close shots) is so neat.  For these macros, I didn’t have access to any macro tubes, so I just used my zoom lens.  It was especially fun once I started to add just a little splash of color.

I set up my little operation at my kitchen table and used two sources of light.  I had all the lights in the kitchen except my two axillary lights and tried to juggle holding on of them, dropping the water and pressing the shutter button!  Wow, I am so pleased with how some of these turned out.  I used a relatively high shutter speed and a high (or narrow) F-Stop for these photos.
