This was a fun challenge but harder than I thought it would be. Almost all of the spring colors are gone... Plenty of green but the Tulips and early bloomers are almost all gone. Walking through my local grocery, I spotted these very bright (almost gaudy) daisies. The flowers looked very fun and way to colorful not to shoot them.
I didn't make any adjustments with either color or saturation.... what you see is what you get.
I had bought some new Extension Tubes to take even closer macro shots and these are my first attempts using the Tubes. The learning curve on these won't be that tough but I will have to keep notes and keep playing with them. I love taking Macro shots and I am always looking for new things to shoot.
I am really enjoying the Sunday challenge and look forward to the next challenge.
Please post your comments!

Great colors, what kind of extention kit did you get? I'm looking at picking up either the Kenko or Pro-Optics tube extention kit.
ReplyDeleteWell done. You are going to love these extention tubes. I use them all the time when taking macro's.
