I have always seen a landscape with people among the swirls of color in my abalone hair clip. I took the challenge of macro photography to get close enough to examine its wonder.

Think of this as a new version of Cloud Caption Monday I use to do. What Images do You see?

Editing notes I stabilized my iPhone 4s on a stand so I could move in close then I held the clip between to fingers and taped the screen to get this photo.

I cropped a very tiny bit  to  remove background distraction and that is all the editing I did.

  2. Oh, Carol, it’s lovely the way your macro has translated the clip into an abstract. I like your set up. It’s true that one has to be creative to render a macro with a Smartphone. Happy Phoneography Monday.

    1. Oh I love playing with my phone, What is special about this is I didn’t have to use any fancy apps to get that depth of color and sparkle.

  5. Can’t find the elephant, but I do see a male angel, a shark, a platipus with a bucket on it’s head, (really) and a cat laying down. If I would look at it longer, with my imignation I could probably find several more things. lol Very neat idea and picture Carol.

    1. Your imagination really took flight. As long as the shark doesn’t eat the Angel 😉
      It was sure fun making the picture, too.
