Mould on Cheese (abstract for camera club)

Paul Iddon

We have the next round of comp entries at the camera club due on Thursday and I have been saving a piece of cheese that had a bit of mould on it to see if I could get anything interesting.

This is what I ended up with - I was hoping the mould would become more colourful over time, but it remained white.

I contemplated changing it to B&W and making it look like a moonscape too. Might have a go at that after anyway. Do you think that would work or is this abstract enough as it is?

Hi Paul. While this looks to be well lit and shot, it really doesn't do anything for me. I think your idea of a B&W conversion might be a good idea.

That said, I'm a total newbie to macro photography and anything I offer should probably be taken with a very large grain of salt.

Thaks Snowgirl.

Here is the B&W version anyway:

I was agreeing with Snowgirl until I saw the B&W - it's much better - more contrast and texture!

I think the yellow color was putting me off - plus I kept wondering what might lurk in my fridge.

I'll probably go with the B&W then.

Check the fridge Eric!

Much prefer the B&W as well. Must have been the yellow that was off-putting?
