Today’s Macro Mondays theme is Beatles/Beetles (either the pop group or the insect or the VW car or all three), with a full license to go crazy and wacky. 🙂 Being a Beatles fan since I can remember, the image you are seeing here popped into my head as soon as I finished reading the assignment, didn’t even consider doing anything else. So, I got a pink toy VW Beetle, made a cardboard road, painted ladybugs onto 4 pebbles with waterproof red and black markers, threw in some Christmas wreath decorations and headed for a local park to make my shot for the theme. It was overcast all day but just as I staged the shot, the sun smiled (or quite possibly LOL’d) at me through the clouds for a moment and gave me those lovely shadows and shiny bokeh. At first glance, this may not even look like a macro but, in reality, the toy car is only 2 inches (5 cm) long (the road is 4 inches/10cm wide and the largest ‘ladybug’ is 0.7 inches/1.8cm in length). I had fun making the shot and I hope it brings smiles to your faces as well. 🙂
