Macro Mondays theme - anything goes.
Something I don't normally do and that is macro photography, probably because I have never been that good at it. Yesterday I wanted to give it another go, the hard part is coming up with a theme. So came up with the idea of trying to capture water droplets, and managed to capture a reflection in a bubble just as the bubble was about to drop.
Honest comments and opinions would be most welcome..
As mentioned in one of the comments below if you turn it the other way it does look like a wine glass with a leaf in it....

Macro Mondays theme - stripes.
Using natural daylight to light the subject.
Having tried out lots of ideas including stripped sweets, the sweets idea did not work because I was eating them as I was going along, as I was moving around trying out angles and perspectives I’d just start eating away at them, then thought I’d try something else.
So, I had some striped tissue and some shiny cutlery I spent a little while polishing them up and tried out spoons and forks, finally decided on one of each placed at such an angle that the stripes in the tissue would reflect onto the spoon and fork.

Macro Mondays theme - Hot/Cold.
a long time ago in a galaxy far far away....
I had and an ice cube mould of some of the Star Wars characters from the original film, this was the only one to have come out successfully, using only a blue LED torch as a light source to light the subject including the bubbles and surface it is sat on.

Macro Mondays theme - Bubbles.
Managed to encase a rose and buds in a bubble.
Taken outside to make use of natural light, in between a rather windy and showery day.
From our childhoods most of us had a bottle of soapy water and a dipper for blowing bubbles, for this one my thought was I needed something a bit more robust. Having managed to pop into my local toy shop they had a product much the same as we remember but the bubbles were of a more robust mixture. Tried out a few scenarios which didn't work so wondering into the garden and having some newly planted roses came up with trying to encase the Rose in a bubble, having many failed attempts trying to put the rose into the bubble I then discovered that if you actually put a thin layer of bubble mixture onto the rose and buds the bubble would not pop, the challenge then was the wind moving the bubble side to side and the rain trying not to get soaked hence why the bubble may not look quite as sharp as it could be and only having 1 day to do this in. This was my best on the day with a little bit of sunlight.
Making use of plants and trees in the garden as background and a setting of F3.5 seemed to give me the required bokeh.
