Thanks to you all for the encouraging words. I've learned a lot here just playing around with Project #1. Pretty soon I think I'll get brave go on to (drum roll, please) Project #2. I sure hope it's not the one with the word "metaphysics" in the title.

Very cool Russ. I really like the way the light falls on the curves. Great tonal range, and interesting composition, IMO. I think BW is very effective also.

Thanks Chelsea. I stopped down as much as the camera would allow, so I don't know if it will give any better DOF than I got or not. I'll make finding out my next project! If that's all the camera will do, I can always smash the wires together a little bit and try it again.
Any macro/DOF hints from other Coolpix users?

I like the shapes and different shades on this one, but would like it a whole lot more if that front wire was in focus.

Thank you both for the comments, especially about the frame. Sue, I like your idea about a set. I'll keep my eye peeled for a giraffe or a big tall rocket ship or something to complement this one

Russ,
I really like the colors, the vibrant blue with the orange have a nice effect. The mountains in the horizon look a little strange thought, but maybe that's just the way they are i guess.
I definitly don't like the frame =).

Hi, Russ.
I'm not particularly attracted by the frame, but I like the photo. I see it with another of a similar type, and the pair decorating narrow walls on either side of door in someone's apartment. You know? The sections of walls where you end up hanging three small pictures vertically because a regular sized piece of art won't fit? Well, maybe I'm the only one to have been challenged that way...
ANYway, I like it, but I see it as part of a set.

Actually, I had the key rings sitting by the laptop keyboard with the screen tilted down over it to make a little artificial "sky". (See the attachment.) I would like to have had the rings more in the middle of the keyboard so that they would be surrounded on all sides by the overhanging screen, but then I couldn't get the camera in there to take the picture! I think moving the rings farther away from the screen would have made the shadows worse, since the light would really be coming from only one side in that situation.
My next plan is to cut the bottom off a plastic milk bottle, place that over the rings, and then blast it on the outside with bright light. Then I will cut a hole in it somewhere to shoot through and see how that works for a little mini light tent.

Interesting concept! I really like abstracts of household items. It makes us look twice at things we take for granted everyday. I agree with Kim, even if it's not what you wanted, it's still a great photograph. How close were the rings to the laptop? Did you try moving them further away for softer light?
P.S. - I love the title!

Maybe not what you were going for, but still very interesting. I think you've used the negative space very well and the composition of the key rings makes me look deeper into the image.

Russ,
In the words of Arte Johnson, "Very Interesting!" I like the folds of the cactus and how the shadows fall in those folds. When I first looked at this I thought it was leather. Good tones and detail. How far from the cactus were you?
Later my friend,
Another Russ

Recovery work looks good Russ. I like the compostion. When I take digi's of my varmits, I usually set for degrees of a little under exposure. However, I can see how your arrangement would have been hard to recognize with under exposure.

I cdertainly wouldn't have known it was badly underexposed if you hadn't said so. I like the space above and the texture of the carpet as well as Larry himself. Nice work!
