Focus Far . . .
These marbles belong to my dh, he collected them as a child. I love all the colors, but not really happy with the shadows and lighting here. I may get out my macro lens and try these shots again. Canon 40D Aperture priority, SS 1/30 and 1/40 (w/tripod), f5.0, ISO 100, FL 38mm. Adjusted levels in PSCS2, forgot to smart sharpen, so no sharpening here.

I like the colors and the white background. I was thinking of taking a picture of some marbles the other day. Maybe tomorrow. You've inspired me!
Excellent! I love the marbles.
This is really fun. The colors are great and I love the random-ness of the marbles. Very cute!
These are awesome! What fabulous colors! I can't wait til my son is old enough to introduce him to marbles!
Oh my gosh--I LOVE this! All those colors on the white is just awesome. Great focus. Can't wait to see those cat's eyes in a macro.
Love your pictures!! Great to see the difference in focus!!
I like the different points of view. Nice focus.
Great idea..I do like all of the colors and the 1st one is my favorite....
I love how you did the focus in these. That looks really cool. WOuld love to see them with your macro
Oh, this is great! You asked about the white backgrounds. I try to set my white balance by doing it custom. I also meter +1 over 0 most of the time. IF that does not work, I can use the screen layer and then, the eyedropper tool to get white. Hope that helps.
Awesome photos! Love the colors and the different focus views. I personally like the shadows :)
If you do another shot of the marbles with your macro, could you post it? I don't exactly know what macros do. . . are they primes with small number f settings? I'd love to see the difference if you do it. . . .

Great job on this.
Love the colors. Great photos.
This is so cool, I think the colors are vibrant against the white. Great photos!!
Fun focus play but I love the shadows. I think it adds to the picture! They aren't harsh shadows gotten from using a harsh flash...but are soft shadows that occurred naturally....me likey ;)
Oh wow! Love the focus here.
Very cool, such pretty marbles. I love the colors of the marbles with no competing background.
Very cool!! Love the focus and those colors are vibrant!
I love the composition of the shots. Adding marbles to my list of things to macro shoot!
I like that you showed near and far differences. Nice color
These are some great shots. The simplicity of the background helps to not distract from the marbles. I also like both views, with the focus on the back and the front. I disagree with you though, I like the shadows, in fact I would like to see them more pronounced.

These shots are cool. I betthey will be very neat as macros too!
This brings back memories. I used to have a huge collection of marbles as a kid. Love how you changed the focus on the two shots.
Your post reminded me of Grover on Sesame Street (near! far! near! far!) Great colors!
