Happy Macro Monday!
This shell lei is one of several souvenirs brought back from Hawaii by my father after World War II.
f/7.2, 1/20, ISO 2500, 85mm
I had to close down my aperture quite a bit to get all the foreground shells in focus. I used a tripod and manual focus- and for the first time used Live View to zoom in to make sure things really were in focus. I don’t know why I never thought of this before; my friend Rudy mentioned this trick. Duh! Thanks, Rudy!

Live View. . .hmmmm. I’ve seen it demo’d and never tried it. Obviously, it works! Love the depth of field in this shot, and the composition.
YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON THIS!
