Ribbons #1 Curling into the 3rd dimension
There was certainly no lack of choice, as I keep lots of different ribbons from presents etc in a box to use them again for my presents. But I got lost in taking pictures of the first piece of ribbon that I found - a rather wide and shiny copper - coloured one that turned out to be a very interesting foto model, showing very different characters with changing light and background. We were really sort of good partners with me, always doing that macro work totally open-ended, without an exact plan, just experimenting and looking for interesting outcomes and that ribbon changing forms, showing all sorts of copper tones or fiery reflections, depending on the light and background I used.
I liked more than one of the resulting macros and found it hard to choose, especially because I had wanted to leave my comfort zone of golden sparkles and Bokeh and finally do a clear and elegant - looking 'less-is-more' (eventually away from f 2.8 ;).
What you see is a compromise - a narrow sharp area and that dissolving into the more misty part.
Thank you for your time to visit, for faves and comments, very welcome and appreciated.
