Sparkle

Last day of meteorological winter

That's very pretty. Don't see much heather down here in gardens now.

Simple things are sometimes difficult

I am still trying to learn how to photograph my pencil collection properly.

Getting the lighting right even with the light tent is more difficult than it seems. Choosing the right background shade, is not so obvious. Also getting focus stacking right can be a pain.

The AI masking in Capture One is pretty useful when I need to adjust the background/subject lighting.

Love this one.

How does it look in colour?

Rust

Cargo vessel from Caribbean...

Love this one...

Fab contrast. Who needs a cam?!

Dizzy, but good.

I really like those out of focus water drops.

Like this. I liked both but when I can't decide, I go mono.

What's captivating here is that the rust pattern looks like a ship with masts and rigging. Excellent.

Great photo of a beautiful object.

Yes B&W wins out here. Maybe with a bigger camera and a bit of pimping the colours in post, colour would win.

I see a Battle Ship in the rust. A nice little abstract.

Brighton Pier

I think you're doing well. These are the two I want to hold.
