Marbles - first thread.

I had a bit of a bored, messing-around Sunday today, putting some marbles in the freezer and snapping them as it froze. What do you reckon?

DOF is a little too narrow for my taste.

Nice experimentation :)

That's pretty cool, although I would have liked to see those ones at the back in focus too :)

:agree: Very nice idea though :thumbs:

[mobilevirgin]

I like that - nice abstract - got any more?

With stuff like that, its always a good idea to try different angles, focal lengths, exposure times, lighting effects, etc

Ta - I've got one more, but it's a bit rubbish because you can clearly see me reflected in the green marble. Ah well....

cracking idea, nicely different

[jeangenie]

Funky idea and nice colours and textures. :)

Sort of makes my point, really. Once you've got your gear set up to do a still life, its worth taking loads of shots and from different angles :naughty:

Its still a good idea and the 1st one is cool.

Crazy but great idea.

Have another crack with different DOF's (and at keeping yourself out of the shot...)

Hehe - I've got about 40 others if you want me to post them up? ;)

RP - I didn't actually notice that at the time :lol: What a dummy I am :bonk:

I've had a long day - I'm just gonna go chill now...
