Let there be light...

Let there be light...

I finally bought a simple macro lens for my new camera and this is my first official macro shot I’m adding. This is actually tiny (about 3-4cm or just over 1 inch) dried up piece of twisted grape vine I picked off the fence with a water drop which was reflected by the sun. It’s definitely different to my usual work but why not?! It reminds me of a lantern..

    looks more like e crystal than a waterdrop…..i really like the idea of it being a lantern too! Looking for an ‘honest man’ are we? great field of focus.
