I know it's been done to death, but I thought I'd try doing a macro/close-up a day. Can't do one every day - on some days I'm too busy browsing lenses I can't afford :rofl
I'll submit one per post. Any comments much appreciated. I'll start a new thread each month otherwise it will get a bit too much to navigate.

Shot on white paper with a single studio head behind the keys to give heavy contrast. Converted in Silver Efex Pro. Canon 5DM2 Canon 100mmL macro.

Shot with just one safety-pin, but multiple shots. I moved the pin around between shots. In Bridge I selected all the images and loaded them to layers in Photoshop, then changed the blend mode to 'darken' which merges them together.

It's a good job it's so cold out - gives me plenty of scope for indoor shots

One ruler sandwiched between two polarizing filters - one of which was a white screen in Photoshop on my large PC monitor screen (screens are polarisers to a camera). Took one shot then layered it and rotated the layers to make it look like there were three - then blended them with layer mode of 'darken'.

Two CD's, one half on top of the other placed near a window with vertical strip blinds. The strips of the blinds with the light coming through helped give the strips of colour. Natural light only. Colours boosted a little in Photoshop, but apart from that it's a 'straight' shot.

Shot today on an old farm door on the Gower, West Wales. Panasonic G3 with 14-45mm lens plus Raynox 250 macro clip-on lens. The lens front was about 2 inches from the padlock - it gets that close. natural light only (sunny day)

This is a cotton ribbed table placemat. I was sitting at the table playing with folding it and then pulling the ends together, and thought it created an interesting shape.
It's one of these... www.lauraashley.com/invt/3552437?tmcampid=110&tmad=c&...
