Macro Monday 42, more glass

So this was quite striking and unexpected. This is glass, not another attempt at hair. 

While you'd think it would be easy to line up the paperweights and do both the regular and macro shots together, it doesn't work that way. There's somewhat different techniques, to say nothing of changing the camera setup. Better leave one lens on and work through the paperweights looking for interesting shots.  Lighting them this way produces quite different results, some of which are what I was hoping for, others not so much.

These are only just barely macro shots, but they're best examples yet of the lighting I was going after. This paperweight looks quite ordinary in normal lighting.

Paperweight

The attempts at actual macro shots of this paperweight were boring. When you dive in there isn't enough green to make it interesting.
