Perplexed Maze


Photo-A-Day #3461

As I was watching TV tonight I kept looking at one of our Perplexus puzzles. It is a maze in a ball that you have to try and get a tiny ball bearing to go through many obstacles. I kept looking at it and thinking, that would be a fun thing to shoot with my macro lens. It would be tough because the outside of the toy is a clear plastic ball. So there is a very soft look to this image because of that. It is also hard to get in and take a macro of something inside something else that is curved. So I tried and this was what I ended up with.

Photo-A-Day #3453

More macro photography today. this time I wanted to capture the grains of salt on some almonds. I had tried to get some photos of the kids playing in the rain and also some turkeys when I showed up to work, but instead I shot a bunch of photos to discover that my memory card was sitting in the slot on my computer. So, instead, I searched for something in the office to photograph.
