Oil and water
It's been a long time since I've picked up my camera to do more than just take a snapshot. I'm not sure why. I think part of it is just a general mental funk, and part is that I just can't figure out what to shoot.
Then I read this post, and I literally jumped off the couch to see if I could do it too!
I had a few setbacks: My lens wasn't macro, my sink was filthy, and Owen was upstairs chattering and calling my name when he should have been napping, so I was really rushed. I could have spent a lot more time messing around with my settings, different angles and maybe even my kit lens. I'll have to give it another go on a day when Owen actually sleeps!
I cleaned my sink, added a few drops of food coloring, and flipped the cap on the baby oil. Then I unscrewed the cap and removed the safety seal. Anyone tells you to stock up on baby oil before you have a kid, hold off. I've owned that bottle for 8 years!
These aren't as cool as Jodi's, but I still think they're kind of fun!
I've also decided to participate in MCP Project 52. A picture a day always becomes such a chore, but I think I can have some fun with one a week, especially since there's a suggested theme. I'm nothing if not suggestible!
