tip off!

i was writing my rent cheque when i remembered i was supposed to take a macro of a ball point pen's tip.

i'd have wanted to finish off my flash of red with a bang by photographing a macro of a snow flake. but it was not to be.

shot using this with raynox macroscopic lens attachment.

feeling dizzy so i will catch up with you, kind folks, tomorrow. thank you for coming by and commenting; you're all awesome!

Great tip. Super focus and textures. Snow flakes are overrated. Enough with the damn snow already!!!

[Annie D]

hope the dizziness abates

I tried to do snowflake macro but our little but of snow was too wet.
I like your pen tip macro!

[Susan]

Great macro!

Great macro and high key b&w! Hope you feel better soon.

Hi. I'm your get pushed partner this week. Had a nice browse through your album this morning and checked your past challenges, that's a really good idea to list them all. Anyway what about a photo of hands? Does that work for you?

[Sally Ings]

Such nice detail, great simple composition.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

My final shots weren't exactly what I was thinking of either, although I did think the end of Buster's tail was more humorous! Too bad they're not doing pens in a mundane challenge right now because this one is pretty interesting as well as pretty!

[Margaret Obey]

Great macro

[Ron]

Great B&W and nicely meeting all of the contrast and composition rules. Beautiful result!

[Bill Fenske]

Great macro my friend. I hope the dizziness has passed by now.

Nice way to end the month.....I bet you are dying to do color now!
