    Macro Close Up of Kitchen Whisk

    This image began with an everyday kitchen whisk used to mix eggs and the like. I lit one side with a blue light and the other with a red light. I utilized a red/blue gel with the overhead light. I came in as close as possible to the head of the whisk with the macro lens. The resulting image is shown. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61mp, mirrorless camera and a Sony 90mm F2.8 MACRO G OSS lens. 1/5th, F8, ISO 100, Manual Mode, (65) image focus stack.
