Bonus Day 15

During the winter months I had to be quite creative! These mini figures definitely tested my macro skills - the mug is about 2cm high! Macro improves manual focussing skills as well.

Bonus Day 14

Macro! Quickly realising that I would never get a decent macro in the garden of a snowdrop, I had to bring it indoors and taped it to black card! I'm really pleased with this - it's exactly how I imagined it would be, and I love the stark contrast of black and white with the green accents.

Bonus Day 13

Close up work, tricky lighting and bringing all the elements together...thank goodness for our freaky figures, which came in handy on a number of occasions!

Bonus Day 12

My first foray into macro - and it's outside! sunny morning with dew on the grass. I'm so pleased with this one, another in my top 5!

Bonus Day 11

Representing Christmas! My goodness the reflective surface of the baubles played havoc with this shot! I had to really think about where I was and where to place the camera. Also, I'm indoors, so it's all about adjusting to use a tripod...
