The Cliché Kid rides again... by vignouse

The Cliché Kid rides again...

So, a new month, a new challenge - here we are in Macro-March... and whilst I don't promise to do macro shots the whole month, I thought I should at least start off in a willing mood.

It seems to me that everyone who has a go at macro-photography shoots, sooner or later, a photo of a slice of Kiwi fruit - it's a Rite of Passage if you like.

Even with clichés I like to be a little different if I can, so here is a slice of B&W Kiwi and it is pictured lying on the lit screen of my iPad to provide the high-key backlighting. (It played hell with the screen touch sensors!)

Viewing large is pretty awesome...
Yes it is pretty awesome! So now I have try kiwi ha ha! The hairs are horrible ha ha, in a good way, brilliant.

I just saw another picture like this and it inspired me to take my photo today. Hope you all have fun with Macro-March. Not that mine was macro. The picture was on a site about using available light. I like this as you have combine bw and macro.

Very nice macro for March; great detail. But you left out the beautiful greens of the kiwi... B&W was for February... today it's March 1st... LOL

Very nice Richard. I once did a slice of kiwi where I put it on the window pane and used the sunshine to back light it.

I reminds me of pictures of cells in biology books. I like it. It also explains why you haven't phoned!! (Joke)!

Nothing quite like an original cliché - like the high key.

Great macro shot and love it black and white and I like how you've turned your Ipad into a lightbox lol I'll have to try that! Fav!

Love the hair. :) I might join you for Macro March. My macro lens has been sitting too far back on the shelf for too long.
