"If your photos aren't good enough, your not close enough"

Well its day one, work up today thinking macro subjects although after spending more than 40 minutes crouched down outside with my camera trying to get photos of bees i gave up, i came to the conclusion that i was giving up because:

1. It was overcast and i wasn't getting enough light
2. They kept being frightened away by my lens, now i kinda a wish a had a 180mm macro lens
3. My knee hurt

So i thought maybe its time for a change of subject, went inside picked up mini Danboard and big Danboard and took them to the kitchen, i chose the kitchen because it had quite a bit of light coming through the window and cuz the kitchen just sounded like a good idea, spent awhile playing around with them trying to find a good position, and something that could interact with and i thought ill put mini danboard on the pepper grinder and place the other one in the foreground, i think it turned out ok, not great but ok :).

Hope you enjoy the picture.
