I wanted to get on with some jobs around the house today so I decided to take one of my slightly daft still life shots today instead of going outside to shoot. I bought these brightly coloured bulldog clips a few weeks ago to clip music together and they seemed a good subject for a macro shot. It only took me a few minutes to find a composition I liked so that leaves me lots of time to do the tidying I’d planned. Hmm, now I think about it, going out to shoot might have been more fun!

Very cool...a big photo.. ????? · 2011-06-09: 09:03

Love these vivid colors ;) Kovac · 2011-06-09: 09:32

Great shot. I'm a bit stuck for subjects at the moment with the rainy weather outside so may have to find something mundane inside but unlikely to make it look as good as you do. Lynda · 2011-06-09: 09:45

Great clarity and colors - wonderful focal point and bokeh, Helen. djnana · 2011-06-09: 21:52

Fantastic shot Helen, at least you have the excuse of using them for something.. I have been known to buy things simply because I knew they would make a good shot :) McMommy · 2011-06-09: 22:05
