This is my kitchen window, and camera was rotated on the lens's pupil axis by decoupling the focus wheel on the lens and then taping the lens to the tripod via the focus wheel :-D

I posted more info here:

After seeing how DPC displays small 1200px photographs on my huge 32" 4K monitor I am also very curious why I did that :/ I can't understand why I have to scroll down a 1200px picture on a 4K monitor, I need to zoom out the web browser to 50% on DPC to be able to view photos without scrolling.

But when the picture is fully visible in one go, I did prefer to crop it like this, call it artistic intent :) But you are right, it definitely would have looked better without all this negative space - in the context of DPC viewing. Thank you for the comment :)

Hah! That is exactly what happened, wedged into the competition because I had nothing and didn't have time to think of something else. I registered on DPC in 2008, but somehow never got onboard. I have 17 years worth of submissions to make up for, so I'm trying my best to support DPC by taking part as much as I can - I'm having a lot of fun doing it, too!

Originally posted by jmsetzler: This is a really cool photo. It's my favorite one in the challenge even though I feel that it doesn't meet the challenge... lol. I guess I should have come up with an entry for this challenge showing 'photos wedged into challenges just because they didn't have anything else to post' as a pet peeve :)

Wow! Thank you for the kind words once again <3 Yes completely unprocessed, these macro lenses.... :) They know their work!

Originally posted by kanaj: I can hardly believe this is wholly unprocessed. Not even sharpened a little? Geez...this is so consummately beautiful that it's a testament to your skills and eye with your equipment. I prize that far more than processing, so this is going in my favorites right now.
