Assignment 17: What is it? -- 24 Hour Run Off

[Dan Fleming]

Good Morning all! I have our new assignment ready to go today! We all got hungry with "Assigment 16: What's on your plate?" and had some excellent submissions. For this new assignment I want pictures that are not obvious what they are at first glance. Super-macro shots are naturally oriented this way, but details of buildings, cars, etc would also work very well. I am sure there are other ways of interpreting that photographically! So submit your photos that make people ask "What is that?" I'll be creating the finalists list for this edition.


There was a tie in the voting, so I have opted for a 24 hour run off! Vote early Vote often (or something like that)

I have no idea what this is, and I like the dramatic colors.

This one bit the mathematical side of my brain. It looks like one of those computer generated-fractals. I also like the contrast provided by the side lighting

Congrats, Dan on your winning entry from last round! SinceI couldn't submit because I didn't have a camera, instead I just baked brownies and ate them!


Here's two photos from me for this assignment. Both were taken with a 7d, Canon 100mm f/2.8 L IS Macro Lens, 3 Kenko extension tubes stacked (36mm, 20mm, 12mm) and Canon MR-14EX Macro Ring Lite.

Both are at 1/50, f/14, ISO 200, handheld




This next one is my official entry for the assignment (unless I come up with something more creative by Feb. 12th [:P])

Kamelot is that an Agar plate with bacteria growing on it? I have no clue if it isn

[Kamelot]

should i tell now or later? Maybe anyone else wants to guess? []

[Steve U]

No that

[MattG]

I wanna say melting ice in water that is contained in something very rusty like a wheel barrel or something

[Kayaker72]

My guess...mini marsh mellows melting in hot chocolate....

[MattG]

7D, 17-55, ISO 100, F2.8, 1/250, with flash

[Kamelot]

nice guesses guys, i wouldn't thought about rusty or chocolate [] Now i look at this photo and that "brown" really looks like rusty to me []


I can add that this photo was taken whithout flash. Object was about 20 cm from camera. And i have one more photo with flash []
