[abc's or 123'c] time to count

Posted on August 19, 2009 by sharon

I recently read Understanding Close-up Photography: Creative Close Encounters with or without a Macro Lens I was inspired to try different backgrounds. I thought about using scrapbook paper of which I have a ton, but grabbed what was closer… a shirt, a vest and a quilt.

    Oh my heck, Sharon, I LOVE those first two–those bright colors really work the dark numbers. What a great idea!!!

    That sounds like a cool book, I love using scrapbook paper. Of course I don’t scrapbook so I have to go buy it. Love the colors in that first one!
