Macro Monday – ornament

January 16th, 2012

It probably will be the last shot in the Christmas mood this season.
This is a close-up of one of the ornaments I had on my Christmas tree. I decided to photograph it up close and frame it this way for a reason. The sticks of the ornament reminded me of the cartoons of the bright, summer sun. I also added one of my recent favorite macro shooting technique. I shot the ornament through the surrounding branches of the evergreen tree. They were out of focus, but some of the green color remain, like a delicate fog. Or as if you were looking at the sun up through tree branches.

Camera & Lens: NIKON D300 85.0 mm f/3.5, Flash did not fire.
Focal length: 85 mm Shutter: 2 sec. ISO: 800 Aperture: f/16.0
