When I started Project 365 I had a vision of finding ‘things overlooked’ and photographing them. And I knew I wanted to photograph things close up.
The problem was that I didn’t have a close-up lens.
A couple of days ago I bought some close-up filters and I’m using those. I knew raspberries looked or perhaps felt like they were covered in little hairs – now I know they are covered in them.

WOW! I want a close up lens now & a big bowl of raspberries! Bring on the summer fruit season.

Waitrose superstore in Edinburgh has raspberries – that’s where these came from 🙂

I’m sure The Raspberry Sisters will become a huge success! Love the photo.
What filters did you use?
I have a 50mm prime lens, but no macro… I’d love to have though..
Raspberries are a little hairy 🙂 …I think they have little bones in them too..

I bought the close-up filters as a set. It says Close Up No.1, Close Up No.2, and Close Up No.4 on the filters.

Yes, I prefer strawberries – and blackberries – but the sisters were crooning to be taken out for a spin 😉

It’s a Sony Cyber-shot – it was on sale, when I bought it. But it frequently makes blurry pictures and all I can do with it is to choose the subject and hope it won’t turn out too bad. I would love to make close ups, but it doesn’t even realise a macro shot

I sympathise. 😦

That’s beautiful detail you’ve captured. I think it’s dangerous that I know about these filters now though.
I’ve got a small macro addiction in me just waiting to come out and until now the only thing that’s kept it suppressed is the lack of a macro lens 😉

I love the way there is a whole new macro world waiting 😉

That would be a first – I’ve never shaved a peach. I might do that to see how it works.
