Close-up

Home late after dance class, so not much to point the camera at... This is my other half's old key holder thing. (Each little ring has a metal loop attached which can be connected to a key). As you can see, this one got a bit bashed, so he finally got around to replacing it at the weekend...

Interesting photo. It could have been a "What is it?" I like your focus and the textures and gleem of the light hitting the metal.

@alia_801 (: Very cool. I love ballet and jazz--haven't tried funk (not sure what that is, hip-hop?) but I've done modern, which I like as well

[Oleta Clouse]

This has such great detail.. Fabulous POV shot!

[alia_801]

@clarissajohal Funk is half-way between jazz and hip-hop... I've worked so hard on trying to get some technique that I really hate classes where it all gets thrown out of the window!

[FaerieMoon]

@alia_801 I can only imagine!

[Tricia Hunt]

Very interesting shot.

[Lara Zinn]

perhaps if you try to use a tripod for the macro shooting. have you try it?

[alia_801]

@carrapeta00 I haven't used a tripod for shooting macros, but I might give it a go...
