Dried Pepper
Uploaded: September 18, 2007
Playing with new 100mm macro lens a couple years ago.
Pepper from my brother's garden, was getting ready to throw away.
My artistic juices seem like this some of the time, all dried up.
Canon 100mm. Entered "Details & Macro".

You've been doing macro shots for such a long time. No wonder you are so good at it. Clarity and lighting are super here. Certainly the red is so striking. #741393Nancy (Peaches) Harker September 18, 2007
