Challenge: Macro Without Bugs or Flowers (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Canon EOS-D30
Location: Kuwait
Date: Nov 4, 2004
Galleries: Still Life, Macro
Date Uploaded: Nov 4, 2004

I returned to Kuwait with the hope to at least get one more shot in for showing and this was my idea from the get go. It was darker than I wanted so I popped the flash to get the detail I needed.

Interesting idea. I like the silhouette of the far end of the gun, though the lighting on the near end and bullets might look a little better if it was more diffused.

This is pretty original, I like it.

The foreground is sharpened too much. I think you shouldn't have used direct flash. Perhaps a longer exposure time would have made the picture more harmonic. The bright spots (mainly on the bullets) are somewhat annoying. But the idea is nice.

While I do like this shot. It has great contrast with the brass on black. I like the DOF and the color. I just don't feel it is a macro. Perhaps a hero shot. But Just can't see it aa a macro.

This picture has some good elements (sunset, scope against the sky), but I think it would do better in a different category. While close to the 1:1 scale of macro photography, you could still get even closer (maybe just the bullets).

This is an attention getter! Finally a shot that isn't an eye or watch! Great DOF and focus. The gold tones really pop out at you. Well done and God bless you. 10

Not quite an extreme closeup or macro, but excellent composition and use of color.

DAMN...What is this gun used for?

I really like this shot, its very interesting and the composition is good. B&W would have looked better though in my opinion.
