Default A few close-ups

I haven't had much to shoot lately. We had some leftover Halloween candy so here are a few shots. Not the best I used the pop up flash.

Taken with the Tamron 70-300



These were taken with the Minlota 50mm

Nicely done Frank, simple and effective pictures, I like them, you did well to practice such self control mate, I'd eaten our left over Halloween chocolates by 9.00pm

Default nice colours

i like the colours, specially on the first one.

is it just me or the last two seems a bit blurred in the foreground, maybe a too shallow depth of field ?

I am not a sweets eater. I just eat too much real food.

Thanks for the nice comments

I tried using different f stops. I didn't think it would effect the DOF that much at that close of a distance.

Thanks for looking

Great shots. You do have more self control than me too. I am a bit like Beachcomer... I would have had the remaining sweets consumed definately by 9pm... if not earlier...

Love the colours. TFS.

I like the first and second shot,
they remind me of going to the doctor as a child and getting a jellybean.
bit confusing for a child to get a jab,and then he gives me a jellybean.
