Assignment: PCA110 – What in the World?
Date: June 20 to July 4, 2010 (2 weeks)
Image Tag: pca110
From: HipChicklette
This pca is for summerspot, who participated in a few "What in the World?" pics I posted, and thought this might make a good idea for a pca. We'll find out! :)
The Mission:
To look at everyday objects with a different eye. To capture something from a different perspective, pov, focus, magnification, whatever, that makes the viewer focus just on what you've presented. The capture should make it challenging for the viewer to easily identify the object, thus focusing on the colors (or b&w), tones, shapes, lines, light, and other components of the composition. A visual puzzle, if you will.
To make it easier for folks' imaginations to be free, please omit using tags that identify the object until after the pca is over, and everyone has had an opportunity to comment (and guess, if they choose. :)
WIT
I wanted to have a reasonably shallow depth of field so that it would prevent identification from being too easy. This was taken in my garden using an extension tube and my 50mm 1.8 prime lens. Other details are as follows:
ISO 100
f/3.5
1/60 sec
EDIT:
I was pleased (and surprised) to find that this photo features in Explore for July 4th, thank you to everybody for your feedback! :)
