grating on my nerves

the sun came out this morning - but the weather was frigid... as it is a day off here in Ontario i played some with my macro lens, various kitchen impedimenta, and a shaft of light on the floor...

:)

[Katia]

Neat abstract my dear! :)

[Kerri]

Great b&w

[Maggiemae]

The three items aren't all the same which provides interest in the abstractness of the picture!

[Richard Sayer]

I was going to make a pun on "No greater love hath man...", but in the end, I just decided to say congratulations on a super example of how to improvise a photo out of nothing, and learn a lot in the process.

[Ken "Tasian"]

Love the DOF you selected for this shot...great capture.

[Shanne]

cool abstract and focus

[Penny Price]

Very cool.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Fab detail. Definitely worth viewing large.

[Dawn Reilly]

seriously thinking of switching to a canon so i can get that fabulous macro lens.

[☠northy]

@sunshinephoto5 doesn't nikon have one?

[Dawn Reilly]

@northy They do and i have it, it's a 105mm, but i don't get the clarity that i see from the canon 100mm

[☠northy]

@sunshinephoto5 hmmm... interesting... do you do any post processing? just wondering if the clarity comes from the sharpening that can be added in LR or photoshop?

[Dawn Reilly]

@northy I usually sharpen, and most times i am reasonably happy with the macro, but when I compare to the canon, it doesn't hold up. i will be posting a macro i took today, if you get a chance, tell me what you think.

[Taffy]

Very cool abstract -- needs to be seen large to really appreciate. Wow...I was behind on your album and missed some good stuff!

[Sharyn's Shots シ]

Very very cool take on a simple grater. Love it.

[Suse♡]

I love the abstract quality in here, agree that it really needs to be seen large to appreciate it fully

[Laurie F]

cool shot! love the abstract look

[Marloes]

Looks almost like flowers coming up :) love your comp and lighting!

[Gloria]
