Project 365 - Day 72 - Macro fun ... again

Today I was experimenting with some macro shots.  I took a bunch of household items and shot them with my macro lens and all three extension tubes.  Results were mixed, with most of the images lacking any kind of interesting quality.  I guess shooting something that is common in macro mode only makes it more commoner ... :-)

But I did have a couple of winners, and one of those was the coffee beans that I shot.  The surface of the beans is pretty cool, I didn't realize that they had such texture and colours. 

The shot, as I said, was 3 extension tubes on my 60mm lens.  I used two LED lights to light the beans, one from each side.  ISO400 f/36 and 13 sec shutter.

Here's the shot:
