Day 6: C7 Bulbs

Day 6: Camera Controls, Macro

If you're not familiar with C7 lights, they are the Christmas bulbs that are about 2" long from tip to tip. 

I took some photos that were the most macro I can get with my camera, just the inside of one of the lights, but I liked this photo better.

    Those are some nice partylights you got there.
    Great composition and a nice use of DoF .

    A nice shot showing some fabulous colour. Love the different blues with one red one. Very nice work with the macro!

    I would make the one bulb even more orange using selective color to play on the complementary colors even more.

    I agree about playing with the orange color. It looked fine in Photoshop, but I wasn't as happy once I saw it posted. But I was so glad to finally have a photo that didn't take me long! The shoot was easy, and I only had to crop a little and white balance this one. Yea!

    I love the different shades of blue against the one red lamp and the transparancy.

    I like the color and transparency of the bulbs. I do find the front left one a bit overpowering though.

    Wonderful macro shot. I have to agree with Eury about the front one though
