Macro Experimentation

I have this weird fetish for my dog's eye lashes.  I don't recall ever seeing another Labrador's eyelashes as pronounced as hers.  I want to swing from them.  Ok, not really.  Sounded better in my head.

I have discovered that macro and movement do not belong in the same sentence.  It took me 6 hours to get these shots.

At which point, my wife equated it to terrorizing my dog with my camera.

She just wishes her eyelashes were this pretty.

Oh wait.  They are.  Nevermind.  Macro filters are neat.  But you have to UBER close to your subject.  All these shots were focused manually.
