JHO December Photo Contest, "Close-Ups or Macros"

[Lan-Lord]

Note, wapiti has asked that the photos be taken this month</span>[/i][/b] to encourage us to shoot more often. Also if anyone needs tips on reversing lenses etc., just ask, wapiti is pretty good at taking closeups and has a lot of info on technique and reversing the lens.

This contest will run until Dec 31st, 2006.

I was sitting around the house and saw this bowl of candy. Usually my first thoughts are "hmm hmmmm good" and then grab 1 or 9

I decided to take a picture of the candy and like the christmas colors too.

I would like to share some Macros shots of a few of my wife’s holiday figurines and ornaments that she decorates the house with each year.

These were taken with my Olympus E500 using a Zuiko 35MM Micro lens.
