Challenge: Puzzle Macro II (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: Dining room
Date: Nov 18, 2008
Aperture: f/3.5 (I think)
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/100
Galleries: Macro, Textures
Date Uploaded: Nov 18, 2008

 The bottom of a cooking pot.
Shot handheld with my 50mm lens held to the camera, reversed. I shot a few at f/1.8, but wanted more depth of field, so I think this one was at f/3.5 or f/3.2 (no metadata recorded on aperture when the lens is reversed). The pot was up on a bin to be closer to our dining room lights.
Shot RAW, in ACR, increased exposure, lowered brightness, increased contrast, increased clarity.
In Photoshop, cropped, resized, applied smart sharpen, saved for Web.

Reminds me of the bottom of a pan. The edges being so out of focus compared to the center makes me a bit dizzy.

A stumper, meets the challenge. Strong composition, focus, color ... but weak subject.

Looks metallic, could be almost anything. I like the DOF and angled composition.
