8th March 2014 - Drawing pins

Searched round my house for something colourful and found these drawing pins. The garden hasn't got much else to offer at the moment now I have done the tiny daffs and the snowdrop. No insects yet!! I can't wait for spring!!

Looks better large if you have time!!

Many thanks for your lovely comments on yesterdays feather shot - very much appreciated!!

9th March - On PP!! Wow that means a lot to me as it seems to be harder to get on there now days even when you get lots of Favs!! Many thanks for your great comments and Favs!!
Really neat shot! Great colors and focus.

Great DOF

Great shot! The colour really stands out against the black! What did you use as your background (if you don't mind me asking), it's really effective!

@lauramalone82 Many thanks for the lovely comments. The drawing pins are standing on my black plastic reflector board and as the camera is on the tripod just slightly above the pins the black is all the board. If I was doing somthing taller I would put a black card background at the back of the reflector board. You can make the black really black in LR and I always take these shots into PS and clone out any dust marks which are always there on the black plastic. Hope that makes sense Laura.
