The Macro Box

I decided to have a project today since such stuff is fun.  I found instructions on making a $10 Macro Studio.  SO I made one for under $2.  Here it is:  Beautiful, I know.

In testing the studio I noticed some consistent smudges on the pictures.  I cleaned the lens and still saw problems.  I hoped nothing had gotten on my sensor but in checking indeed there was a speck of lint on it.  I decided blowing it off was the best option.  Well, gracefully as I am blowing the lint off a small glob comes out of my mouth and plops itself on the sensor (actually its a glass plate in front of the sensor).  So now I have spit and lint on my Canon.  Disgusted, I gently tried to get it off but needless to say the results are less than professional.  I will be seeking out a cleaning kit. On to the pictures. 

Heather is entering one of my prize possessions in the "ugliest ornament contest" tonight with the ladies.  I have no idea why she thinks this is ugly because it's a work of art and personifies the Christmas spirit.  That's right...the SHAQ ATTACK!

I did try some more traditional shots.  I was trying to incorporate shaq in the nativity but it seemed a little over the edge.  Theres only 2 wise men now, the guy with the Myrrh got taken for a wild ride by our soon to be 3 year old.


I call this "Yellow Fluffiness with Cherry Tomato hat"
