Fair enough.
The base is never in focus on a macro shot. It may be possible for a pro photographer to get the base and tips in focus, but not for me. Normally on the zoomed out shot the base is in focus, not this time though, sorry but it at least give a bit of referance.


I normally take all my pictures over a white background and on white, clean eggcrate like this:



But this week I decided to try something different and took the pictures over a blackish gravel. I used the zoomed out shot to set the white balance correctly then cropped.

And before anyways asks, sorry but the above piece is no longer for sale. We sold a few and have kept a few as mother to add to our exclusive collection.
