bagged

you know when you say a word over and over and over again to the point that it ceases to have any meaning? the same goes for shooting a teabag up close 'n personal-like... for the abstract mundane challenge... without which, i can assure you, this shot would never have reason to be ;p

tx for all the wonderful comments on my selfie from yesterday...

Ooooh, it looks like a scungy dishcloth from the kitchen of 'the Young Ones' I'm expecting to see a carrot go rollerskating past in the background!

Very cool high contrasty finish.

@quixoticneophyte how come i never heard of that show? i had to google it... will have to see if i can find it online to download or maybe on DVD :)

[Alexander]

@northy A little taster for you, if you haven't found it already! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk5pO06BdSk

[Spanner]

This is a wonderful interpretation of the mundane challenge. Well done. I really like the contrast and composition.

[Alexander]

@northy Another for you, it's amazing who's in this scene! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxA0a5G6ccg

[Lisa Stein]

Great light and textures!

[Taffy]

I like the way you bring out shape and texture, and effectively remove the object from the image. BTW, I reworked the portico shot that you suggested doing in b&w and you're right. It totally changes in image. I used Nik Suite, high structure modified. Will post it eventually -- hopefully this week. Thanks for the idea.

@houdiniem plonker
I thought it was an aardvark
Fab shot

[Lisa Pouncy]

I never ever would have known it was a teabag! xx

[Humphrey Hippo]

Fab texture! I knew you'd find an interesting shot of it.

@quixoticneophyte Thanks for that link, it really took me back. It also lead me to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_X_7TrcHGM which reminded me why I love live theatre so much.

[Alexander]

@kaesebiscuit Cool reminder Mr B! I'd completely forgotten about 'Bottom' which reminded me of 'Filthy Rich & Catflap" somehow...

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

@houdiniem @johnnyfrs Well I thought it was Fingermouse, so nyah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIoafYh5HJE

[Mac]

It looked like a stuffed animal part at first. No particular part. The lighting is fabuloso and the texture is great.

[☠northy]

@kaesebiscuit @quixoticneophyte if I weren't so excruciatingly busy I'd join the conversation... Carry on! :D

[Arefin]

love the textures and great lighting as always! fabulous shot!

[Katia]

Totally agree with Arefin! :)

[Maggiemae]

We all thought it was some sort of animal! I thought it was an elephant with a bonnet on!

[Fearghal]

Cool abstract! - maybe it says more about me but i saw a mouse ;-)
