Better Dead!

Better Dead!
I picked this one from my garden a while ago and I've been saving it until it got really grungy before I took a photo of it. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, but I'm guessing not everyone will like it!

Taken indoors yesterday using a macro lens and an LED panel and a some black card as a background. In post production I darkened the background a little and added some dynamic contrast and a grunge filter to accentuate the detail.

It was raining all day.........and this was a pleasant way to spend some time! Enjoy the rest of your week everyone.

It's been another sunny day here........we've been out for a walk and had lunch out with a friend. Much better than the rain we had yesterday! I'll have a word with the Met Office and see if they can arrange some rain for you..!!

Hardly recognisable as a daff Keith but an incredible capture all the same. I admire your imagination of looking for new ways to photograph familiar objects. Very well done.
