Rainbow macro

Rainbow macro

This is an extreme macro of colored crayons. It was taken with Canon PowerShot A620 camera, no DSLR here. It’s a P&S with great macro mode, you can get about 1cm from to the subject. However, when the camera is that close, it blocks the light. Fortunately, I mounted it on a steady tripod and used one very strong 2000w video light and bumped it off the ceiling in a tight, bright room. That was more than enough for 1sec exposure!
