Not just any nuts by louannwarren

Not just any nuts

I went to a local hardware store to look for nut photos. I was surprised that these perfectly shiny hex nut’s surfaces were so flawed when I downloaded the photos. I’m sure there are photography terms for what a camera lens sees that we don’t! People talk about how honest photographs are, that you can’t hide anything, this illustrates that idea perfectly. Thank goodness for faffing is all I have to say! This for N nut, for Aug18words.
You are right. It is amazing how scruffy the nuts' surfaces are, although some look shiny and new. Good idea for today's nuts.

cool shot

Great idea! I was thinking almonds, walnuts etc... I can see what your saying about the surfaces, but they look still new to me and I think they make the picture more interesting too!

Clever response. I rely heavily on faffing for my cameras honesty :)

Your processing on this turned an ordinary shot of nuts into something really interesting. AND I learned the meaning of a new word "faffing" - do a whole lot of that! Fav

Well done, LouAnn! Fav.

Its interesting to find out what you had actually captured in the camera when you get home, nice light and detail captured here Lou Ann:)

@milaniet @louannwarren faffing is a very English term :- faff about/around. to spend your time doing a lot of things that are not important instead of the thing that you should be doing: I wish you'd stop faffing about and do something useful! every days a school day, lol:)

@pcoulson I learned “faffing” from @annied! I think it’s such a cool verb and covers so many things in my life. LOL. Thank you for the official definition, I love it more than ever now! 😊

They may seem smooth when you look at them but when they're machined there's all kinds of marks that get put on them. Great macro!

some shiny bits are hard to photograph without the marks.
you made a very interesting shot here.
