Macro Interrupted
Lens: SMC-A 50mm macro Camera: K-500

I found a bit of dried-up wasp's nest in the driveway on my way into the house, and I figured that with all the different textures and angles, not to mention its total lack of any desire to run away, it was a perfect subject to play at macro with.

I have no studio lights, but rigging up a white paper backdrop lit by my desk lamp seemed to fit with the spirit of playing with what I have to see what my new camera can do.

I have to say, I'm always impressed with what that 50mm macro can do:
