Macro Shots of Make Up

I was kind of busy today at work. I joggled one job to the other and didn't even finish my monthly report. Since we are short handed it was hard. So to relieve my stress, I went to 3 stores.

I bought some essentials and finally I got a palette from Wet N Wild. I didn't find all that I have in mind. Cvs has limited stocks.I will try Rite Aid next week maybe I could find what I am looking for. To be honest, I want to get the shadows that are Mac dupes lol.. Save money right? Or I should just stop thinking buying makeups. LOL.. Vanity that is.. I will be in search. Hopefully, I can get it.

Photo of the day - Accessories

I am fascinated with photographing jewelries and accessories. I don't have a macro lens to do that but my standard zoom lens was able to capture this real good ones.

Photo of the day - Perfume

This is a gift from a friend. It was unexpected gesture from her and I appreciate her thoughts. I actually invited her to come to my birthday party last year but she wasn't able to attend. It was just the same day the event was held that I saw saw her and she handed me a VS gift bag and the content was this gift. I didn't take any photo of it, so today was my chance. Here's the photo for the day.

Macro Shots

I took some shots last Saturday about my tiny little flower at our place. I did take some photos with this flower but the pictures before were too small and I have not much knowledge how to take a closer look except if I do photoshop zooming in and out. So with some little know how, and some extension macro lens I was able to capture this photos below:

Macro Photography

There was a day that I was told by my husband to take some micro shots. I tried using my camera with the kit lens and the long range 55-200. I didn't get the best close up shots to the object. I shot a number of times. It's not once but a lot. I am very particular of the crispiness and clarity of the photos and I didn't really take a good one. When I crop it to make it look like a close up, I lost it's clarity and the noise are too evident of the picture.

Out of that experience, I searched again some informations online and some friends at FB who are fanatic with their own dslr's too. I asked one friend and I was told about a certain lens. When I looked it was a shock because the price I wasn't really expecting it could be so cheap. Of course it's not really lens but looks like a filter to me. I bought 2 different ways to get a macro photos and not getting my pocket worn out. First was to do reverse photography. I got an adapter and hook it up to the camera with the 50mm 1.8 lens. I took a couple and it was not a success. It's either too bright and too dark then the image is not crisp. The pictures were blurry. When the 2nd lens arrived, I am very excited to try it out. It was the opteka macro lens 10x HD. First try with the penny, the pictures were so great and the color pop out. I was so relief and I posted it online. I was proud of it.
