EC: Use A Macro Lens

As seen in the storefront window of Indian Motorcycles in downtown Racine, WI.  Entire coloring of this dog sculpture was done with buttons.

Claiming the EC because while the lens itself isn't macro, it's attachment to my Sony is via a close-focus adapter.

They Are Real!

These eyelashes are NOT FAKE nor a HOAX.  They belong 100% to my one year old grandson.  My wife says she'd kill for eyelashes like these...a slight overexaggeration.

In order to get this level of detail and with processing flexibility, I needed to shoot in RAW.  While on my lap drinking his bottle, I was able to position my phone above (using Halide Camera app in RAW mode) and capture a couple of quick shots.

Processed in Lightroom, Photoshop and Nik Collection HDR Efex Pro 2.
