you capture: red

I played with my macro lens and some valentine’s candy this week.  I need lots more practice with my macro.  It requires a much smaller aperture (larger number) than I’m used to in order to get good sharp focus.

I’m going to try some photos of conversation hearts, too.  That is, if my kids don’t eat them all first.

    I can't pick a favorite - you got some really great captures this week! Love the green background and how it makes the red POP!

    Whoa, I love all of them! Are those place mats that you use as backgrounds?

    Amy, Sometimes I use placemats, but most of the time I use scrapbook paper. I have plenty and it seems I'll never get around to actually scrapbooking so at least I found a use for them!

    So I see I'm not the only one who found another use for her neglected scrapbook paper! :)

    These shots are great! I'd really like to have a macro lens. {sigh}

    Great shots! Like you, I bought v-day candy specifically for taking pictures. I keep catching my husband stealing it on me. ;)
