So I tried the tree roots, failed. I tried an onion, not a bad effort. Then today I thought hair roots, mine need doing
and then Andy (Posiview) was quick of the mark! But I decided, no I'll still try it but a macro version. I have a rather posh macro lens and not a clue how to use it! I decided this looked better cropped as you can see the oil being secreted on some of the hairs.
This is handheld at F8, 1/80 sec, 800ISO, with flash gun attached.
The main issue was getting close enough so I had to shoot in manual, not ideal when your husband moves even a tiny bit! I'm impressed some of it is in focus.
All you pro macro peeps, advice accepted!
