Contribution for the Macro Dreams challenge : " Fruit and Veg "

Contribution for the Macro Dreams challenge s: ➽ " Fruit and Veg " ➽ " Shimmer and Sparkle " Idea "stolen" from my wife Sari, who noticed that the bottom end of a mini tomato sometimes looks like a kissing mouth. I used phone camera, switched on the LED torch, and shot through a loop on a ball chain. The technique is so called "foreground bokeh", where the out of focus bokeh is between the camera and the main subject in focus.

Contribution for the Macro Dreams challenge : " Iacta alea est " Rework based on feedback received from Luc and Ghislaine . Snapseed version I got on my new Android, seem to have a feature to repeat the previous editing. There has always been also an option to save some edits, which I should now start to use more often. Although, it is usually better to keep on doing something new, than to stuck on something old. The strange "boxing" is caused by heavy HDR effect and JPEG interpolation.

Contribution for the Macro Dreams challenge : " Iacta alea est " Such regular icosahedron dice is used as a life counter in Magic The Gathering collectible cards game. Each player starts with 20 lives. Damage getting through are then reduced from the counter by turning the number of remaining lives on top of the dice. When the lives goes below one, the player looses the game. I photographed the dice against a mirror. Then on Snapseed photo editing app I used "/\/" shape curve for solarization , and added a strong vignetting. Finally I turned the image black and white, using green filter to make the dice look even darker. ➽ Original ➽ Magic The Gathering The Musical by Zombie Cat Productions at YouTube =,D
