not a water shot

Yes, I spent another fruitless hour trying to get that fantastic water shot, but they were all rubbish. So here you have a stapler and some staples. Er, that's it!

Thank you all for your recent comments, I really appreciate your support!
Nice! Keep trying with the water. I know you can do it!

Pea

Lol, Peter! :D I'm sure you're being too hard on yourself, I'm sure they weren't all rubbish! But I can totally feel your frustration - your Plan B works well with the blue tones and nice dof. Keep at it, you'll get the water shot, too! :)

Well I like the stapler shot Peter (and I'm sure the water shot will make it on here before long!)

Fabulous macro... great focus and intereting subject.

Hehe Love the DOF and bright color in this one. Keep playing with the water :)

Water is so frustrating, but so rewarding when you get the one (and there is usually only one amongst a session that usually flattens the battery!). Michelle Young did a great water crown about a week ago and told us how she did it... check her out, it sounded almost foolproof!!
Anyway, this is a great, and certainly more original, photo, I really like the colours, the composition and the edgy feel! Well done Peter.

Sometimes... it's frustrating, but keep on trying!
I like the colors of this one.

That's a really cool shot!

I like your focus and the tones are great here. Don't be dejected on the water shots - even Ansel Adams failed royally until he got it right!

@soboy5 Danny, that's VERY reassuring! Thank you!

Working in an office you would I would think I would be imaginative enough to come up with something like this - but no, not me, perhaps tomorrow i will have a good look at my desk! Thanks for the idea!!

Nice alternative shot. Love the metallic objects.

Very cool processing on the stapler and staples. Very creative.

Nice, you have a 'proper' macro lens?

Who would have thought that a stapler and staples would make a good photo, well done! Nice lines and texture.

Ha ha, some days are like that.

Since you've done so well with this, you should try the mundane paper clip challenge.

Know the feeling, haven't managed either to capture a good water shot :p Nice shot though, really like it !
