Day 5 - Stacked


A bit of an abstract - 6 knives stacked and taken from their ends. The amount of fluff that showed up was amazing, something you have to watch out for with macro pics, so I made it darker than I'd have liked.

  1. Cool abstract. I'd never have guessed what they were unless you said. I too have found dust and fluff excessively irritating! Great job hiding it. :)

  2. Oh my goodness. I would never have guessed they were knives. What creative thinking. And you are sooo right about fluff and dirt showing up on macros!

  3. I would not have thought they were knives, nice reflections with the colours

  4. Getting any glossy surface perfectly clean is a job for specialists. Shooting video for a manufacturer of (mostly metal) kitchen supplies told me that lesson in a crash course :) Fingerprints, dust, grease, all sorts of stuff people had to polish off before we could to that scene -- and once an actor had touched the surface (per the script) the cleaning started over again. Talk about productivity :)

  5. I'm not the cleaning type but when it comes to shooting objects ....
    I would never have guessed your objects to be knives either. Great combination of shapes & reflections.

  6. Great shot, works well as an abstract. I think I'd have been tempted to clone out the two errant highlights at the top of the picture, but I like it nonetheless.

  7. I had a hard time figuring this out even when you said what it was. Nice graphic result though. Love the yellow and black colour combination.

  8. Very cool! I’d be afraid to even try to deal with the dust and fingerprints that show up on shiny things. It might make me sad to actually see the dirt on my utensils. It’s probably a miracle that I survive. :) Awesome set of photos so far, I cant wait to see what’s next.

  9. Very creative shot! I love the angle and the gold edges. This photo shoots my theory of the puzzle having something to do with purple...

  10. I never would have guessed it was knives. Nice abstract, I like the dark and light colors,very interesting. I have no clue as to what your puzzle is so far. Keep up the good work.

  11. This is nice but it just seems to be missing something. Perhaps a bit more contrast and a more dynamic composition would give it a bit more kick?
