Challenge: First Entry (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: Challenges
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
Date: Jul 18, 2010
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/250
Date Uploaded: Jul 18, 2010

 This is a re-conceptualization of my own first entry. Extraneous elements are eliminated, the tools are made monumental.

Hand-held against late afternoon sky, shot with 100mm macro at arm's length in one hand with the other hand holding the camera. I love IS :-)

Processing is very simple. A little cloning lower right, a little topaz detail on the tools themselves, a little hue/sat.

The original:

I was disappointed when I saw this shot as someone had re-done this better than my attempt. I was hoping it was you & so I'm happy to be beaten by the original & more skillful photographer. Great shot Bear.

Quite a tool/metal study. You have me thinking about the provenance of tools, but then I am something of an artefactress wannabe.

This IS a popular subject:) And I like ALL the versions better than the bland original, except that for a mechanical challenge it was perfectly suited!! Wonderful sharpness here, terrific perspective and compostion.

Imaginative re-working of the original.

Beautiful, the depth of field, sharpness, and composition are just right! Much better framing than the original.

Wonderful detail and tones. Nicely processed. But something about the composition doesn't quite feel right to me.
