Graphic Propulsion

I’ve always been rather attracted to this Papermate propelling pencil because of its transparent barrel and the details of the spiral mechanism for extruding the graphite. Oh, and the colour… So I could hardly resist when the spiral topic came around again for Macro Mondays.

 

A bit of a rush job though - one take and then a patch-up in the processing. Had I had more time I think I would have used a tripod and focus stacking (or a different lens). Ah well…

 

This is vaguely what I intended, or at least an inch and half of it anyway. The full pencil is more interesting :)

 

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Mondays :)
