Day 61 - Heart Health

Close ups of small objects can often provide interesting results. In this case, my daily regimen of pills (Omega 3, Flaxseed Oil, Vitamin D and low-dose Aspirin) for heart-health reasons becomes a neat little arrangement of shapes and colours.

I tried to take the photo without using the Olympus' built-in flash but I just couldn't get enough natural light on the subject to make it work. Then the auto-focus started acting up on me so I ended up having to take a fairly distant shot and then crop out the excess table-top in iPhoto. I think the camera has a close-up photo program somewhere inside but I was too lazy to find it for this one picture. I almost used one of the out-of-focus shots for today's picture: the combination of the flash and the blur made for an interesting, star-like quality. I settled on this shot, however, because I like the arrangement of the pills (they actually dropped that way onto the table) and the tiny round one that managed to stand on its side for the picture.
