Another one of the pipe wrench thanks to Robert (RBSinTo)

[Mike Buckley]

Robert (RBSinTo) suggested that I make an image of this part of the old pipe wrench to add to my other close-ups of it. Once I began exploring the possibility, I realized that the decorative characteristics are surprisingly artistic, at least surprising to me, considering that the product is only a pipe wrench. Thanks for the idea, Robert!

Setup
The background is black paper (seen only in the very tiny top and bottom corners at the right edge of the frame). A small continuous-light lamp is on the left side and a white reflector is on the right side.

Well done

[Shadowman]

Nicely done.

[Rob Ekins]

Wow!
You always do texture so well.

Is this a crop or full image from your 35mm lens? I can not see EXIF.

Mike, the lighting is just perfect.
Cheers Ole

Thank you, everyone!

To respond to Robert:

The image was straightened about 1 degree because I didn't get it perfectly straight in-camera and it was then cropped so little that it is almost imperceptible; I could easily print it 20" x 30" or larger.

It's unfortunate that the EXIF info was stripped. I had to display the image by connecting to my Zenfolio website because TinyPic is broken. I'll explore for the future whether there is a way to configure Zenfolio so it doesn't strip the information. EDIT: I changed a configuration at Zenfolio that should allow EXIF info to be displayed not just in photos linked to here in the future but also in the past.

All of my images of the pipe wrench were taken using a Tamron 90mm macro lens. The data pertaining to this image is shown below:

Thanks Mike,
I can see the metadata now thanks for taking the time to sort that out.

Pattern, shape, line - that is a very pleasing abstract.

[Mike Buckley]

Thanks, Greg!

If you didn't say what it was I couldn't guess Mike, nice abstract

Thanks, Binnur!
