After I get past my first thoughts about how much machining it must take to make one of these auger bits, I see the spiral as the main attraction. I think that I would have moved in closer, and left out the point end, to just have the spiral across the frame. This would be a good subject for a fisheye shot. Thanks for the idea!

The colors and point of view make this a nice view of a small item. Good find, and well captured. I like the green leaves being with the flower too, to give it some sense of environment and that it is a whole live plant.

Day 12

I didn't recognize this at first, and I should have because I work with wire a lot. That looks like big wire, maybe 3-0 or MCM 250.
I don't know what to say about the HDR, as there is no original to compare it with. The end result seems a little bright, but the fine texture in the surfaces of the individual strands came out nice. Good subject. It has interesting textures. The one little piece of lint at the bottom keeps me coming back to it for some reason. I think it is partly because it is so different, and oriented differently to the general lines in that area. Good HDR alignment for a manual bracket too.

Good detail and even lighting in this shot. It looks like it is lying on a slide viewing light table. Do I see your yellow shirt reflected in the threads? The lock washer adds some interest due to its different curved shape.

Rope

I like the way you used DOF and positioned the subject so that it isolates the one strand from the rest of the rope in the BG. The strong light makes the texture stand out nicely, and the curve helps with interest.

Day 11: Bananas

I can see that you had to shoot relatively wide aperture due to the available light. That is a good abstract pattern in the central focused area.

Welded on - Day 10

Lovely shapes and details in this shot. Good find! The only minus is the blurry lower left corner. Sometimes you can put something in front or over a thing like that in a photo, like a leaf or something dark like the edge of a camera lens bag or hat. It would not work for this shot, but just another trick to remember for someday.

I like this kind of "darkness" in photos, and shoot a lot in this style myself. That's an interesting subject.

We have some of those growing here in South Florida. The climate must be similar to where you live.
The little seeds look a lot like the singing raisins in the TV ads.

Natures diversity gives me endless amazement. You have a fine talent for capturing and sharing sweet bits of it with us at DPC.
