. . . is one of the themes of my daily challenge group. I decided to take macro shots of a cucumber slice.
Then I got the idea of trying taking another series of shots showing the translucence of the slice. I have seen many photos of strawberries and other fruits suspended in a glass of sparking water- very cool! But, unfortunately, there was no sparkling water in the house. I wanted light to shine through the cucumber and was wishing I had a lightbox, when suddenly my internal light bulb went on. I DO have a lightbox- or at least my husband does.
This is the same cucumber slice used in the first photo. Can you guess what I used for a lightbox? My husband’s iPad!!! Sssshhh- don’t tell!


What a terrific idea…Well husbands/boyfriends/kids, BEWARE we WILL be borrowing your Ipads! lol
Clever!!!!! MADE ME WANT TO HAVE A SLICE OF CUCUMBER. IT’S SNOWING TODAY!!!!!

Excellent macro shots, Melinda!
