SmugMug Photo & Video Sharing. You look better here. : 11-10-2009 My first macro. Be honest. I can take it. These are Celine's First Communion pearls from a few years ago (the pearls, not the image). The image is true to color. They are not white, but rather a creamy peach. We don't have a macro lens. I used an extension tube and a manual focus 100 mm lens. The image is almost s.o.c. except I used the heal tool to erase the detail in the weave of the fabric in the foreground. Viewed in X2L, you can see the flaws on the surface of the pearls. Thank you so much for all of the well wishes for Tino. His absence would leave such a hole in my heart.
