19th March 2014 - Through the eye of a needle

A friend suggested I took some macro shots using sewing things and I have had this shot in mind for a while. The funny thing was I couldn't get the needle threaded - I think I need new glasses!!

Many thanks for all your lovely comments and Favs on my shots - I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by!!

How lovely this is on the PP!! Many thanks for all your comments and Favs which put it there!!
A brilliant macro. Fav.

Fabulous, Pam. Great idea. (And I still remember the first time I couldn't thread the needle--before I got glasses. That's when I knew I was getting old ; )

Wonderful clarity, and the corner to corner composition works well.

It amazes me how you made something so stunning out of something so simple. FAV
March 20th, 2014  
Pam, I just saw this on PP and it leapt out -- so exciting to see it was yours. This is really brilliant! I love the golden thread, the shiny needle and that stark black background. WOW!!!! Fav of course.
March 20th, 2014  
Fantastic execution of this idea. Love that the thread runs from one corner to the other, and that it doesn't appear to even be touching the needle!
March 20th, 2014

Fabulous focus Pam, do you use tubes as well as your macro lens? and did you tie the cotton to something? Fav!
March 22nd, 2014  
@elaine55 Thank you so much Elaine especially for the Fav!! This is taken with my 100mm macro lens then I have cropped in a bit - as camera is full frame I don't loose any detail. I got the gold thread when I went to have Finlay trimmed. I spotted the roll of metalic thread and thought I could use it so Rhona (the breeder) gave me some. It is much stiffer than ordinary thread and it is just threaded through the needle and sticking up on it's own. I was very pleased!!

@pamknowler thanks Pam for the info, it's a great shot!
March 22nd, 2014  
Love the simplicity, use of negative space and the composition. Excellent macro Pam. :)
