Candles...hand-held macro shots

[Don Allison]

Got bored. So took a several macro shots, hand-held.
Taken with the Pentax istD.
1st shot is with the Pentax 105/2.8 lens, a 28mm tube extension, with a close-up lens attached.
2nd and 3rd shots are with the Pentax 50/4 macro lens, a 28 mm tube extension, with a close-up lens attached. ISO 200, Shutter speed of 1/30 and 1/60. Photos were auto-fixed in PS Elements. C'est tout. Thanks for looking:

Tres bien...love those embers on the wick. Good shots, especially knowing they're handheld!

The third is amazing. Great shots and angles on these!

Cool series, I like the way the incandescent wick showed up. You can always count on boredom to provide some good photographic opportunities
