That is a great shot!

I bet I could spend 1/2 day shooting those bottles! I would get all macro crazy, then grab the flash and some gels and make all kinds of trippy stuff :)

Earl - What I Saw 2.0 says:

Thanks Boston Matt! If I had macro capabilities on my digital, I'd be right in there with you! I got my camera for my 50th, almost four years ago, and 2.0 megapixels was pretty advance. It is rugged and reliable, though. If there was an inexpensive way to convert film to digital on cd, I would pull out my old Pentax K-1000 - I have some decent lenses and filters for it!

BostonMatt_moblog says:

Ya film is way too expensive to work w/ now days... I have about 10K worth of pictures. Imagine what that would have cost to get developed even if I had my own lab?

Try playing w/ that PnS digital, you might be suprised how well it can handle macro shooting.

I may have some time to try it this weekend, BostonMatt - thanks! If somebody comes up with affordable 35 mm transfer to cd, though . . .

Thank you for the encouraging thoughts. I guess it's because they're glass, and not plastic like water bottles are now. I wish I had bought a couple of them. Thanks for the fave, too!
