Egg Real Closeup
« on: September 25, 2007, 07:25:33 pm »
Thought some of you might enjoy this.  Needed a picture for our bee association's display at the Illinois State Fair.  Sorry, I can't tell you exactly how many days old this is.  I just had the idea to take a closeup of an egg and looked in the TBH for an egg close to the edge of the comb that I could cut off without much damage.  Maybe one day I could take the time to take day 1-3.   Out of the four assoc's displays it got the blue ribbon.
Picture was taken the old fashioned way.  I used an old Pentax Program Plus 35mm with six inch bellows, a one inch extension tube, and a 100mm Super Macro Takumar lens.

OH MAN!  Too cool!

Everyone said it couldn't be done. But he with a chuckle replied, "I won't be one to say it is so, until I give it a try."  So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin.  If he had a worry he hid it and he started to sing as he tackled that thing that couldn't be done, and he did it.  (unknown)

Arvin, you went to a lot of effort to get that shot of the egg, very, very impressive, and with an old 35 mm, yeah!!!!!  Best of this beautiful day, Cindi
