A picture of my violet - which I adore!
I've been absent on the blogs this weekend! We rented a car Sat. and tootled around town - very fun for all!! Chinese food too! Yummmmmmy! Given we don't have a car and generally walk everywhere, when we do rent one - it is a huge treat for all!!!
I have been waiting for this year's taxes to come in so I could fill a huge desire for a new camera!! We have been struggling along with a VERY old camera - with horrid pics. My DH, Jim digs, buys, trades and sells mineral specimens and I couldn't get any decent pictures of the details - some of them extremely small!! I have been unable to do any artwork larger than my scanner. I purchased a Canon SX110! We are so pleased with the results!! I can now list a few things I have been holding and Jim's wonderful "rocks". Here are a couple of pics!!! Geode with amethyst,florite & quartz on cassiterite.
Congrats! Try this for a super cool effect. Take a really good magnifying glass and hold it carefully against the lens and click to take photo. Voila - Macro Lens - Shot!
ReplyDeleteI will upload some images tomorrow of flower shots taken that way - they are awesome!
Have fun playing with your new friend! :)
Good for you, you're gonna love it!
