Challenge: Hidden Faces (Advanced Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: My House
Date: Dec 22, 2004
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/4 sec
Galleries: Macro, Studio
Date Uploaded: Dec 23, 2004

 A simple macro shot of a stapler I noticed that happenes to form a face on the little metal square where the staple is pressed against and bent inwards. Played around with levels in PS to achieve the background color because the original was more of a gray.

Again, as in many of my studio shots, a simple 3x3 foot piece of oaktag was used as a backround.

Used the kit lens set to full 55mm

A steely face. Bumping up.

This seems like a fairly obvious find to me.

Perhaps black and white would have been a better choice?

If you look closely, you actually have a second face. The dot on the upper part of the stapler could be the eye for a Trogdor-like character...but in mentioning that I'm being hypocritical: that's not very imaginative of me either.

Maybe a little soft. I know my AF always goes for the darker spots when focusing. Nice composition and contrast.

wonderful face. wonderful use of depth-of-field. the bright area on the white lowers my scoring of this image.
