Twisted
For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'PushPull'
For this week's challenge there were so many choices of subject and so many choices of execution. So I decided to continue in my experimentation with my latest buy, a plastic lens from the 1980s, and for the subject to tell myself again to 'Keep it Simple Stupid', KISS!
I found two contrasting colour rubber bands and 'PULLED' them over a piece of expanded polystyrene sheet that I had as packing from a small parcel - I thought the sheet might come in useful at some time!
A surprisingly amount of time was spent getting twists in the bands and the arranging them at right angles. The composition is a familiar one, but then why not?
Some of the aberations in the lens are pretty obvious, barrel distortion, and fall off in definition from the centre but those add something to the character of the photograph. Obviously I'm still learning what is possible and what isn't!
Sima SF 100mm f2 ........................................................... about 3 inches
