Sometimes a photo surprises me! This one looks a bit like something spooky for Halloween, but it did not start out that way. I was working on the topic of "Detail" for City Daily Photo's Theme Day. Since I'm currently posting photos from our trip to Pennsylvania, I selected the iron duck that I purchased at an antique shop in Apollo.
I posed him on a table with a bright light on him and took his portrait. Then I set my camera on "close-up" mode and concentrated on some detail shots. Since it was the openwork that attracted me to the item in the store, I moved in close and positioned it so I caught the light shining through.Not until I opened the image on the computer did I see the spider webs! They are inside the item and I have not opened it up yet, although I can. It is apparently intended as a decorative candle holder.
good macro detail. :)
ReplyDeleteWell that is pretty cool all lit up like that. I like it unlit too.
ReplyDeleteThat first shot is amazing! Well captured.
ReplyDeleteLove that you got surprised by your own photo. Makes me wonder how long the duck's been waiting for a new owner. The shadows would be fun with a tea light in there.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see the duck with a candle light inside. Nice detail.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many ways to see the same thing and you proved that beautifully!
