Thanks Barbara, CJ and Aam. Actually my first pic in this series was the middle one which inspired to try salt in action. I had never tried it, and discussed in the chat, and given some good advice by Techo. I then set up the tripod, 420ex, the lighting, and took the third shot in this series. I was impressed on how the salt grains showed up, especially against the white. I then decided to see if I could get a little closer. But I need an assist lamp with this as my natural light had faded and I needed help to focus. I cleaned up the shaker, strapped on a head lamp for the assist, focused, set the timer, and did about 5-6 shots of this. This one turned out the best, had the most clarity, but not as many crystals except for those three little guys. I decided I liked the symentry in any case, considered myself lucky to have captured it. And yes, I had lots of salt over my floor :) jano

Nice series but this is my fav of the 3 Jano - great macro! How did you catch those 3 little grains of salt like that - I'd have salt all over the place if I tried that - I'd have to lay the shaker down and place those little grains on a backdrop or PS them in! ;-) CJ

Excellent series! Love how they are connected to each other too. WTG Jano.
