Reverse lens with the 18-55mm!
It took me a while to get just the right position, framing/cropping, and angle that I was going for and I'm quite happy with the results. :D

I attached a string to the cherry's stem (lol, yes cherry :aww: who knew it had so much of this detail up close.) and tied the string on a stick so that it would float in a huge cheese whiz jar.

Lighting was from a table lamp positioned on the jar's rim for brighter lighting.. putting it just above wasn't enough :(

Adjustments: Color balance and minimal sharpening

Excellent colors! I didn't realize such wonderful images could be produced by such an average lens! Shows you got skill. Good work!

Photography is the art of capturing art.
If you want to make art, jump over to photomanipulation. :noes:
