Title: Egg Real Closeup
Post by: acbs 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.
