ELL
Old (I don't know how old), used, and pretty much-worn eraser that came to the rescue when I couldn't make anything interesting out of the fun eraser that looks like a little monster and the two new erasers which I'd bought for the theme. They look pretty but uninteresting in a photo. So I went on a desk treasure hunt and found the eraser you can see in the image. It's a round eraser, eggshell-white (now with a greyish hue from year-long use) that has a nice texture and is adorned with tiny (1 mm/0,039 inches in diameter) round dents all around. When I looked at the eraser through the viewfinder, I found the lettering "ELL" on its surface, obviously the only remains of what must have been the Faber-Castell Logo that consists of two juggling knights, below the knights is the brand name in capital letters, and below the brand name is the proud mention of the company's founding year "since 1761" in italic letters.
German writing implement manufacturer Faber-Castell produces about 2 billion wooden pencils annually, making it the world's largest lead and colour pencils manufacturer. The company also produces high-quality writing instruments, leather goods, and artist and office supplies. It was founded in Stein (Bavaria) by Kaspar Faber and is a family-run business in the eighth generation.
But enough on stationery companies. The final image is a focus stacking made of 15 photos. The in-camera stacking yielded a nice-looking result so I skipped Helicon Focus this time. To add some colour punch, I used my makeshift colour filters (red candy box lid from the left, green bottle from the right, handheld torch from above which I've shone through a blue tealight holder).
HMM, Everyone, and have a nice autumn/spring week ahead!
