Glass Bangles - a photo on Flickriver

Glass Bangles

            A simple picture of the bangles my cousin was wearing on her flower ceremony. I still haven't used my 100MM Macro lens which apparently happens to be the most expensive lens i own ever for real macro shots (flowers implied explicitly!) and i keep shooting portraits, frogs, coins and all that you can imagine with it. 

I would however claim that this lens is an absolute master piece when it comes to sharpness and colors. The problem is that the DoF is so thin like a hairline crack you have to be really careful as to where you are placing your AF points on the frame. I had to try real hard to get the focus on the last but third bangle from the right on this picture and it took around some 12 shots and some yelling from my cousin that her eyes hurt cuz of the flash!

Ladies in flickr, here is a beauty tip you will love. I'm told that the Gold Bangles that you see here are NOT gold, not even any metal. These are standard glass bangles with stones made of glass/plastic embedded in them. They cost nothing more than 15 bucks and you can get loads of varieties in Pondy Bazaar, T.Nagar.
