The theme for our twenty first Macro Challenge is rope, thread, string.
Ok, I know at first this does not sound especially interesting, but I think if you give it some thought, and put on your creative photo caps you'll see that there are really quite a few opportunities here. So go out and find some interesting strings and if you are feeling really up to it, make some creative arrangements with clever composition and lighting too. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. ![]() * make sure that rope, thread, and/or string are not merely in the frame, but the subject of your photos * This challenge will run throughout the month of May 2009. You may submit your own original work shot during or before the challenge. I encourage everyone to get out and make some NEW photos for this challenge. Please post your images in this thread along with any technical information you would like to share such as camera, lens, shutter speed, aperture, iso, lighting conditions, post processing, location, subject details, etc. At the end of the month, we'll all award karma for outstanding work. ** A gentle reminder that this contest is intended for macro and close up images only. ** __________________

Well here is my attempt. I know that I need some lessons on my close up since I just got my lens a month or so ago and have not had too much time to play around with it.

A little something from the other end of the industrial spectrum...primitive technology. I did this while walking the dogs this morning:

I asked because they appear as if they were taken from a magazine/publication.
In any case, they are my favorite from you so far. Hope to see more. |
