Here is another batch of photos from my obsession with macro, though I’d argue these might be some of the best non-flower, non-nature ones I’ve ever taken.

It was late in the summer when during a wonderful, warm rain – which I miss terribly now as rain in the fall in winter only means miserable, bone-chilling cold – that I took  a few photographs of the plastic bottles and aluminum cans stuffed into my recycling bin.

When I first looked at the photos on the computer they were average and  little dull, but I found putting them through some basic image enhancements in Photoshop brought out the muted colors reflected in the bottles.

It gives the shots an almost painted effect.
