Close ups.

Here is as selection I took at an evening with the local photographic club in Timaru, Focus Aorangi.

All photos here were taken with a 15 - 85 mm lens and apart from cropping, very little processing has been done.

Simple set up with mirrors and some side lighting.

A layer of glass beads lit from below.

Oil droplets floating on water in a glass.

Pencils in a cylinder filled with lemonade. Side lit against a white background.

The next shot shows at the set up with an array of water droplets on some cling wrap.

Cropping in on the shot above shows how the droplets act as small lenses.
